[Maine-birds] pileated-west kennebunk

While taking a break from snow blowing Tues.---I was walking about 50 yards down the road from my feeders when all of a sudden comes a pileated call-next thing I knew she was on  a feeding station(made of cut saplings) and digging into the beef suet hanging there!  First time in a lifetime of feeding birds that one has come to visit; made all the work worth it! Observed her nearby drilling for carpenter ants(I assume) later in the morning.
Also a red breasted nuthatch in the all day gang-very rare feeder visitor for me even though usually in the surrounding hemlocks.   Sharon in West K.
