Glad you’re back, little one!

A Downy Woodpecker (Picoides pubescens) finally showed up today. I haven’t been putting out anything for my friends, the birds lately. Many days ago I put out some beef suet, and I’ve been waiting. Some hulled sunflower seeds were scattered on the ground too. Finally, this morning this female Downy showed up.

I think they’ve finally realized that food will be provided regularly now. I’m so pleased. I’ve missed having them around.
