RE: Pileated & suet



Once and only once a Pileated visited my suet feeder.  Compared to the
usual Downies, Carolina Wrens, Ruby-crowned Kinglets and Yellow-bellied
Sapsuckers, the Pileated struck me as if - say - all 7'4" of Wilt
Chamberlain was eating from a  child's tea set!  I had my usual suet out, a
commercial preparation of what amounts to very finely ground peanuts held
together by just enough fat to make a cake.  It has proven quite popular
with the birds - everything from the expected Downies to unexpected Pine
Warblers and Gray Catbirds have feasted on that suet through the years.
