Field notes on this piece
Downy woodpeckers are the smallest woodpeckers in North America and the most likely to visit a suburban yard. They, the white-breasted nuthatches and the Carolina wrens all feed upside down happily, so a simple cage is all they need.
Hang it under the eaves or near the trunk of a tree. Refills take seconds: unclip, slide in, clip shut.
What sets it apart
- Holds two cakes for fewer refills
- Grid sized for clinging birds
- Rust-resistant coating
- Easy one-hand refill
