Where Are My Teeth?

Boy this is one weird tree

As far as we can tell, that's what the downy woodpeckers are thinking as they sink their beaks into the suet. We seem to have at least four -- a large male and female and a smaller pair ditto. They're pretty fearless as birds go (except for crows, which are downright rude): if you go out in the yard they chirp loudly for a while at the interruption, but if you don't move around too much they're right back at the feeder.
