Look at that!
Henry is hanging upside down to feed on a suet cake that is under the roof. Many of you may remember my Starling Bully problem….all starlings, no woodpecker. Shellmo gave me a great idea, she told me to buy this neat-o feeder because the starlings can’t hang upside down and won’t be interested in the suet.
She was right! Thanks Shellmo!
It did take two months for me to see a woodpecker actually use it, but then I noticed something else….
Henry brought a young male downy with him!!!
Henry’s a daddy!
Go Henry, go henry, you the man…
Here’s a bad photo, but you get the idea. Henry would take some suet, fly to the walnut tree and feed his son!
I am so proud of him!
Oh buy the way, I was looking through my window and the markings you see is cat snot.
Lots and lots of cat snot on my window.
😦
Anyway, the first person to comment can name Henry and Stella’s son.
Good Luck!

Great idea for a feeder from Shellmo! Am I the first? – if so how about Piko or Pik Pik.
April: Piko is a wonderfull name! Henry and Stella’s son is Piko!
Very creative, thanks April!

Damn, I feel kinda like a grandma since I won the name contest with stella & henry, LOL Little Piko! awwww…..so cute 🙂
Shelley: Yes thanks so much!!! It works it works 🙂
Drowsey: That’s right! You are grandma woodpecker! Stella got her name thanks to you! Isn’t Piko cute?

I never knew about starlings not being able to be up side down! Great idea for the woodpeckers. Piko huh? Next challenge is getting him on camera!
