Guess who came for lunch?

These were all taken within a space of about 10 minutes at lunch time today
This is a female downy woodpecker
I'm guessing this is her hubby
This is a red bellied woodpecker.....this guy is very shy & the most difficult to get pictures of....he always goes to the other side of the suet so I can't get a full shot of him.
There were several cardinals around
All this needs is some snow on the branches
Then the "guest of honor" showed up.....a pileated woodpecker
He hung about on the tree for a while
Then when he "dove" in for lunch went to the other side of the feeder.......I think they are the coolest of the woodpecker family!

Before I left for work Sunday at 5:30am I woke her up to look at it & didn't like the way it was swelling up.  I told if it didn't look better when I got home at lunch we were going back to urgent care. This is what it was looking like when we
