Helper on duty under the bird feeder

  I could use a little help here!                              Whoa - that was quick!


I am always surprised to see the woodpeckers eating sunflower seeds.  I know they eat a lot of grubs and insects and even the suet I put out for them and I wondered if they were getting insects from the sunflower seeds but no - they are actually eating the meat from the sunflowers.  This one is quite often at the feeders right beside the other birds but today he decided to help out the cleanup crew instead.
