Good luck on your camping trip.<br /><br />PS - We have a double-sized suet cage hanging on a pole over our deck. We bring it (and all our feeders) into the garage every evening.<br /><br />Kim - You are always much in my mind with your recent losses.<br /><br />The Pileated Woodpeckers are big birds, some of them twenty inches long. When they emerge from the nest the fledglings are almost as big as the adults.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-86538657815359908712011-06-22T09:18:21.193-04:002011-06-22T09:18:21.193-04:00I am green with envy.

I have an old dead tree (very tall of the pine variety) next to my house and if I am very lucky I will spy a Pileated woodpecker maybe once in two or three years.<br />To be able to see and photograph the mother/baby event is awesome. I love the pictures....THANKS.Ginniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749133391349265563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-14733223373522376522011-06-21T21:21:26.251-04:002011-06-21T21:21:26.251-04:00A wonderful set of pictures!A wonderful set of pictures!Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-5633714228785940182011-06-21T19:14:04.959-04:002011-06-21T19:14:04.959-04:00That IS a big baby bird!

I've had some problems with a cage type suet feeder "disappearing" from the actions of other animals. How you you put your suet out? When we had a large trees cut so that they were no longer threatening to fall onto my bedroom, the tree cutter suggested leaving one VERY tall stump (25' tall) so that it could be for nests. Sure enough, a pileated woodpecker nested there, right in front of my house. I'm not sure where they are this year.LoieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977264499770654307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-33293720882926449032011-06-20T12:03:19.458-04:002011-06-20T12:03:19.458-04:00Wow, I love the pictures and I love it when you te...Wow, I love the pictures and I love it when you teach me about waht I am seeing.<br /><br />I like birds.
