"whereas we have no record of a Hairy coming to one of our feeders."
I regularly get Hairy Woodpeckers coming to my suet feeder. Although a lot
fewer than the Downy Woodpeckers. I put out peanut suet almost year round.
However, I scale back a bit now in the springtime and just put out plain
suet. It is not as well liked, but this time of year I get a dozen or so
European Starlings that wipe out the peanut suet in a day or two.
