I just buy a big bag of good mixed bird feed from WalMart and hand broadcast it into our rural back yard ( no lawn or flower beds) & deck.
Those are 2X6's on the deck to give you a comparison of the size of these largest of variety of Pigeon - and they are wild and still hunted in CA.

Clever. I have a natural bird feeder in my front yard. It's called a tree, and it keeps attracting large woodpeckers. There was one there a few days ago. Usually, they arrive when the weather is warmer. Most of the holes they have made over the years have completely healed and closed up.
Jerry, I think the tree thing could catch on, birds seem to like um alot...... No joke I have a couple of large oaks in my backyard that I spread peanut butter on the trunks and it really draws in the woodpeckers. They love peanut butter.

Looks great, you might want to keep the suet hidden in the holes so it doesn't show in your shots. Post some of your bird shots here so we can see what it's attracting.
