Katherine writes: Cool, this is what was outside of my house the other day trying to hang on my little bit of suet. It was so very neat to see one up close.

Woody the Pileated Woodpecker

I think Woody dropped by to check on the temperature, Katherine!  He was swooping about in our woods the other day, too—when the dogs and I went for our walk we heard his chuckling call.

I never would have thought of it myself, but maybe you would: The Eastport Market sells nice net bags of suet in the meat case. Nail one to a tree near your window and I’ll bet Woody visits you, too.
