This is the first year we have had woodpeckers drinking from the hummers feeder in the 3 years it's been up. Is it good for the woodpeckers?? That's what I want to know.

Downy Woodpeckers are common feeder birds, eating suet and black oil sunflower seeds and occasionally drinking from hummingbird feeders

I see them drinking droplets from leaves and they also follow me around when I have the shower nozzle on the hose diving in and out of that water.
