[TN-Bird] Red Bellied Woodpeckers and Safflower seeds

We have noticed that birds around our place near Cedars of Lebanon SP  
in Wilson county are no longer are interested in our safflower seeds.  
They just leave them alone. Have our safflower seeds spoiled - they  
look ok - or have birds' diets changed?

Also, at that location, we used to see an occasional red headed  
woodpecker and several red bellied woodpeckers.  We haven't seen a red  
headed in perhaps a couple of years and have seen some but not many  
red bellied woodpeckers. Have they tired of our house - we provide  
them with standing dead trees - or have their numbers declined?

Thanks
