["Robert" <robert543@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Linda,

We have four different woodpeckers coming to our yard to feed and bathe
in very citified east Memphis. We got lots of trees, two bird baths, suet in 
a wire
apparatus and a metal cylinder of bread-crumbs, grapevines, and a compost
heap that birds like...

We have three Downy Woodpeckers, a male, a female, and a youngster
that feed on our suet. Two different Yellow-Bellied Sapsuckers clamp
sideways onto the rim of our bird bath, to drink. There are several 
Red-Bellied
Woodpeckers who visit the cylinder regularly for bread crumbs. And then we
have two large Yellow-Shafted Northern Flickers who peck the ground under
my grapevines.

All this in the middle of a bustling citified city... murder capital of this 
and that...
