Took me 6 months to figure out I was putting my suet feeder in the wrong spot

I kept wondering why the woodpeckers would show up at my feeder but never actually eat from it. They'd land, look around, and fly off. Finally watched a titmouse struggle to cling to the mesh because the feeder was right next to the house wall with no room to perch. After I moved it 4 feet away from the siding, I had a downy woodpecker feeding within 10 minutes. Now I check every feeder placement for approach space first. Anybody else have a feeder position that just clicked once you moved it?

Yeah my neighbor moved his feeder by the driveway and now it's just full of wrens and car noise.

Yeah that’s the trick! I moved mine away from a bush and suddenly goldfinches showed up.
