We have Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers at our cylinder feeder of black
oil sunflower seed but while they keep "working" the feeder, they
don't eat the seed. They just "fling it", apparently convinced that
if they can just get all this stuff out of the way, they'll find the
bugs or grubs they are certain are in there somewhere. This seems to
happen every fall.
