Tell him he's supposed to eat the suet, not the feeder! :lol: I've not ever seen them at a feeder. Great pics!

Very Cool!!!! We have one down the road but he has never graced my yard with his presence. I love the holes they make in the trees.. and have a great old 1/2 dead maple I wish he'd come play on before it falls in a storm. You're so lucky!! Has he been back? Once they find you, woooooo whooooo!!!!
