I have at least one, maybe more, Downy Woodpeckers which have taken to drinking syrup from the hummingbird feeder from dawn to dusk. I'm wondering if this steady diet of sugar water is good for them? They also eat peanuts and sunflower seeds from my feeders but they really are going at the syrup like little addicts. Any thoughts? Now and then a hummer gets a drink but not often.
