Blue Jay and Hairy Woodpecker-Suet Wars!

It is interesting to watch the pecking order on the suet feeder in the winter. Blue Jays and Hairy Woodpeckers are the most aggressive. Surprisingly, Hairy Woodpeckers usually trump Blue Jays. The Hairy in this story is a female. Here is a sequence of photos that tell the story.
