Woodrow enjoying a snack (Leuconotopicus villosus)

This large male Hairy woodpecker, whom we have named Woodrow, is addicted to peanut butter. I mean, REALLY addicted. He's often so impatient for it, he will fly at the windows, and hang from the rain gutter and peer in through the windows to get my attention. When I go out to place some for him, he will come down and eat it right off the knife!

I've included a link to the video forum of a short video of him doing just that!

Great capture Bill and I loved your video. My woodies seem to prefer the sunflower seeds this year but in the past they've loved the peanut butter. I've walked up close to them but never as close as you did, well done!
