Can't believe there are no comments. Very well done. You are a natural. I'd vote against using sawdust in woodpecker boxes. Aspen wood shavings is what you want. They are soft and not splintery like cedar.
New to MO- put up bird feeders this winter and attracted lots of birds but woodpeckers started drilling our roof at 6AM every day. I had to take feeders down to get rid of the woodpeckers. Is there a way to feed birds and discourage woodpeckers?
Great short video with very quick review of big points.
Awesome, thanks! We have a lot near our house in WV and I've been fascinated watching and taking pictures.

Interesting design on some feeders I didn't know about..thxz

I use a suet feeder and it works fine for all. how will a flicker get through that teeny hole???
And make sure you enjoy the squirrels that will come to your property and destroy all of your feeders and birdhouses.
Seriously. Those jerks.
Let’s just say me and the squirrels have a deal! They no longer mess with my feeders:)
@shortyward2546 what was the deal??
I electrified my feeders with an electric fence energizer. That got rid of the pesky squirrels.
Let's go to stodoys, if you want to learn how to build it yourself.
