Female Pileated Woodpecker, shopping

Today I took a series of 10 shots of a female Pileated Woodpecker 
(the males have a red streak along the edge of their beak).  

This one was browsing for a snack, she started on a dead branch, 
Someone has started drilling a hole in this dead branch,
it will be fun to watch the progress.




then moved to the big red seed feeder 




 and then the little green mesh ball. 


She's a big girl, pecking for seeds seems silly when there are about 4 suet blocks hanging on the tree a few feet away.  

I'm guessing she will be back for the suet and a more substantial meal.
