Other kinds of syrup (Karo syrup, blueberry syrup) might also work, Heather. If nothing else, syrups are likely to attract ants and other bugs which might attract birds. What kind of tree is it that the woodpeckers like at your neighbor's place?

Where?

And were you in the Galapagos Islands recently?

chisel holes in it, push some suet into the holes, leave some of the bark on it, dig a hole and place the pole in it upright. Make it visible but not too much out in the open. Choose a log/pole that isn't too hard but also not total mush. Some pancake syrup in a few holes might work too.

You could also try playing an audio recording of a pileated woodpecker. Try some other locations in your yard for the suet, and try locations not close your bird feeders.

And if you want to go to the trouble you could get as large an old log (pole) as possible, drill and/or >

Is your neighbor with the pileated woodpecker putting out any kind of food that you're not putting out? Something else that might attract the pw is a somewhat rotting stump or log that you could find in the woods somewhere and put into your yard. The more ants/bugs in it the better. More>

Thanks for trying, Adam.

Don't feel bad, I also sometimes mistake plant parts for bugs or vice versa. :)

I couldn't find a way to contact them at their website.

That website is a farce. Most of the images there are Ai generated.

That is fake. It is Ai generated.

It's a plume moth.

Did Twitter tell you why they locked your account and why they decided to unlock it?

Thanks for pointing that out. I thought that it's a comma. My eyesight is fading.

Settled until someone in the future 'revises' it, and I'd be surprised if all paleontologists on Earth (both professional and amateur) agree right now that it's settled. The fossils may be a separate species but it's always a good idea to keep an open mind about possible changes in classification.
