Back in mid-May, I was experimenting with pre-load weights to see what worked best.? Large woodpeckers have difficulty with this type of feeder unless they feed upside down, but, with the heavy pre-load, and his own weight, this Red-Bellied Woodpecker was left with a very small feeding gap.? His expression displays his frustration. I settled on a reduced pre-load, and peace prevailed. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/20200515-P5151590.JPG.html -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
