After I put out the suet, the feeders were slammed with starlings. I never saw my Sapsucker again and I'm sure he never had a chance at the feeders again. Eddie Huber asked me if I had seen any Redheaded Woodpeckers and I explained that they usually leave at the end of August and return the first of April. The second year that I had them at my house, 2 left for a couple of months and then returned to spend the winter. Well, my husband told me that a Redheaded Woodpecker showed up at the peanut feeder yesterday. I stopped putting the suet out due to the starlings but keep peanuts and other seed in the feeders so he found food.
