How do I attract Downy Woodpeckers?
Sep 06, 2018

Downies love a variety of tree nuts and suet and can be attracted to your yard all year long.
Introduce a peanut feeder or a suet feeder in a rough-barked tree and watch the show begin.
They are quite entertaining and often become so accustomed to human presence that they will not fly off when you approach the feeder but just scurry around to the opposite side.
Fun!
