They're Hungry Out There



I noticed a few grackles out on the tree this afternoon, feeding off the suet cake, so I went to get the camera. Came back to find a redheaded woodpecker leaving the cake, probably intimidated by this bigger woodpecker, a "red bellied" - a misnomer, as the red is definitely on the head, but that name is already taken.
So I got a picture of this one, whom we call "big guy", since he's somewhat larger than the usual diners out on the tree.
