On the cylinder

In the wintertime we have three kinds of woodpeckers visit our backyard. They tap the pines for sap. I put bread inside a metal cylinder and hung it outside of my office. Today it was used by one of our woodpeckers.

It was the Red-Bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus). It was a juvenile. He pecked inside the holes for bread, then flew to a pine tree.
