We just put up our bird feeders so the birds are happy. We have lots of downy, hairy and red bellied woodpeckers that love the suet. And squirrels getting everything that hits the ground. The black birds and blue birds are long gone but lots of nuthatches, chickadee, sparrows, goldfinch. Plus a few bigger birds like bluejays and even the occasional crow.

I wish I could put up feeders on my condo balcony... But it would instantly get engulfed by hoards of sparrows pooping up the whole side of the building lol. I should try setting up a feeding station out in the forest for some winter bird shots. I wonder how many hairy woodpeckers I've mistaken for downy woodpeckers over the years.
I can only tell hairy and downy apart by size. Usually its hard to tell unless you see two at the same time but now I can tell by how big they look compared to my birdfeeder lol
Odds are I might have photos of some hairy woodpeckers that I thought were downy. I'm still trying to get a good shot of a pileated woodpecker, so far I've seen them but my shots turned out blurry.
