[TN-Bird] Woodpecker Territory

Here in the country, we have Red-bellied, Hairy, and Downy Woodpeckers sharing 
the feeders
in the back yard.  Often I see a Hairy and a Downy on the feeder at the same 
time (great for size
and marking comparisons!).  I have seen all three in the yard at the same time 
but never all three
species at a single feeder at the same time.
