Earlier this morning I saw a woodpecker on the old suet feeder. This is the first suet activity I've seen since I hung the new upside-down feeder and then moved the old one near it. So height is not a barrier. (I'm short and branch spacing is a limitation.) It occurred to me that the new feeder has a tiny hole punched in one corner of the roof. If they don't figure out the new feeder by the time the old one empties, I can run another string through that corner and tilt the horizontal feeder to the vertical position. Once the woodpeckers are using it, I can simply lower the angle gradually until it is horizontal. \o/
