We have an immature RED-HEADED WOODPECKER frequenting our feeder and I'd been 
surprised to see that it takes sunflower seeds rather than suet.  Today I 
discovered that it is taking the sunflower seeds and caching them in the bark 
crevices of at least 3 different trees.  I knew that they cached acorns, I 
didn't know that they also did the same thing with sunflower seeds.
