    The little Downey Woodpeckers love their seed block. It is one that it especially geared towards woodpeckers. They go for the peanuts first and then the raisins.

    Cute little guy. Looks like he is making short work of that seed block.

    He's so cute! I need to get some special stuff for the woodpeckers that visit my feeders.

    Cherlad, I get ours at WalMart. You can also buy the larger cages there too. The blocks are fairly expensive, $5 for the block, but it does last 2 weeks or longer if you can keep the squirrels and chimonks out of it.
