I finally got to see this one up close. It is only the second time I´ve seen it. This is a female. She came to a feeder about 10 min from my home.  It is our smallest woodpecker.

    I love woodpeckers and we have 2 or 3 that have been coming to our feeders but they are very shy this year.

    I haven't been able to get any really good close up pictures yet!

    You did great. She's lovely! Happy day to you!

    So sweet and I really like the feeder too. My wild raccoons have been stealing all of my suet cakes and feeders;'(~

    I was also going to say that your woodpecker looks a lot like our downy woodpecker and several of them come to my suet feeders especially in cold weather. Thank you for linking in Monica...Michelle

    Oh she's so sweet and so much smaller than the woodpeckers I see.

    That's a great feeder.
