PNWPhotos.com a friendly and growing community of photographers with an interest in the Pacific Northwest region.
We feature a Photography Discussion Forum and Pacific Northwest Photo Gallery. It's a fun and friendly place to talk with other photographers, ask questions, share you knowledge, view and post photos and more!
Go to your local farm store and buy woodpecker suet. It's specially blended to attract them, and it really works. I put some on a tree in my yard, and I see woodpeckers there on a regular basis. They will eat the other types of suet as well, but they really love the woodpecker blend.
Keep in mind that it may well take a while before one happens by and finds it, but once they know it's around they should become regulars.

Their feather pattern is so detailed. Wonderful image, where was this taken?

Thanks, Debbie, and Christine. The photo was taken in Bellingham, in Whatcom Falls Park. The male (in this photo) and female were foraging just below the nesting hole.

This member of the woodpecker family is one that's found more often on the east side of the Cascades.
Williamson's Sapsucker, male
This particular bird and his mate were feeding young in a nest at the Klipchuck Campground, just over the Cascade Crest, off Hwy. 20, west of Winthrop.

Good shots. Terry and I have our favorite spots in Edmonds where we look for our local Big 4: the downy, hairy, pileated, and red-breasted sapsucker.
I don't include flickers, as they frequent my back yard feeder year around. Every spring they pound on my gutters and try to burrow through the eaves of my house into the crawl space.
