Last Poll Winner

Our last poll topic was your favorite guests to your backyard feeders. The woodpecker edged out the bluebirds and cardinals - but it was very close.

This shot is a male Red-Bellied Woodpecker from Susan's garden in Sharpsburg.

Please take a moment to vote in our new poll about gifts you would prefer from the WBCPTC.

Thank you for visiting. Please send your photos to us and watch for them to appear here in our blog!

Wonderful picture, I notice you have your suet block by a tree, I have mine on my pole system and have had no birds use it. I have tried two different kind of blocks, that did not seem to help. Any suggestions?

My birds love the insect suet - not the insect year round that the squirrels eat before the birds can get to it. The squirrels don't seem to care for the white suet stuff so I can hang it in the tree and the birds feel welcome to enjoy it there. Actually, they fight over it. Keep trying - the woodpeckers will reward your perserverance.

Thank you! I love that bird too. I now have his family growing up in my back yard!
