Lunch Line is for the birds

Yesterday as I was eating lunch, I looked at our suet feeder. It is on a wooden pole on our deck.

At the feeder was a male Red Bellied woodpecker. Just below him on the pole was a male Downy woodpecker, waiting his turn. At the bottom of the pole was a female Hairy woodpecker, waiting for the males to finish dining.

They were all polite and patient while they waited to get to the feeder. While humans wait in horizontal lines for lunch, the woodpeckers wait vertically!
