Downy Woodpeckers

always look so gentle and elegant, but they move in a way that made me jokingly give them the nickname “hostage birb” because they move as if their feet are tied. It is funny to see them lowering themselves down a pole and jump to a suet cake or seed cylinder. I have neither out right now because the Starlings like them too much and I don’t want them to linger. So the Downies have to come to the feeder cam.
