I was jealous to read of the pileated coming to the suet, having never had
that experience. However, I lived in a house last year that had red
mulberry trees in the back yard, and the pileateds came every day to feast
on them. The big birds had to get out into the smaller twigs to get the
fruit and their weight would make the whole tree sway and shake...

This was on Stegall Road in Henderson County, near Lexington...
