I am now convinced that the woodpecker is a juvenile Downy. There have been several juveniles at the feeder the past couple of weeks.

I have had more than 20 house sparrows devouring all my sunflower seeds and suet this summer. They empty the feeders in less than a day and eat a cake of suet every day. I finally quit putting out sunflower seed. I had read that house sparrows do not eat sunflower seed, by apparently these Ozark sparrows can't read. I have started to use a mixture of nuts, seed, and fruit and all the other birds except for the house finches and house sparrows don't mind the change. I am now putting out a lot less food. The woodpeckers that enjoyed the suet are fine with the new seed mixture so we will see how it goes. Now if the house sparrows would just move on to someone else's yard that would be even better. I have been removing their nest from the bluebird boxes and raised a family of bluebirds this spring. I still have some house sparrows in the gourds I put up for Purple Martins and there are some nesting along with Martins in the Martin house.
