First Customer is a Downy

I lashed this wooden pole to my deck to hang suet.  Believe me, it wasn't easy getting that cup hook into that wooden pole.  My first customer, at least that I saw, was a downy woodpecker.  Seems appropriate to start with the smallest first.  This way I won't have to don snowshoes to refill the suet this winter.

I just have to shovel the deck to see the woodpeckers.  This year I expect to see downy's, hairy's, red bellied, and pileated woodpeckers from the comfort of my favorite chair without chunks of suet dirtying my new deck.
