First time visitor

Placed suet cakes on the deck rail four days ago.  After two days the house sparrows decided the metal contraption was not a trap and started eating suet, and after three days the starlings followed suit. Did not know if the suet would attract any woodpeckers, as there are no large trees in the immediate vicinity. However, today's first time visitor is a downy woodpecker, which stopped by for a few minutes at 7:45 am. Lacking a tree trunk, he is using his tail to steady himself on the rail.

I still have to get a proper suet cage instead of an upside down basket tied down with twine.
