When we were in SE Arizona a few weeks ago almost none of the feeders
had their little yellow rosettes in place. Orioles visit them, but the
damage was being done by woodpeckers. We watched a Gila Woodpecker do
damage to a feeder at the Sonoran Desert Museum. I've not ever seen
woodpeckers visit my "Flying saucer" -type feeders, but it must have
been designed by someone from AZ, as the little rosettes are molded into
the design.
