Curious female Purple Finch. She kept looking in this hole!

Just a little tongue? Perhaps!

Thanks Bret, John and Craig. The Purple Finch spent quite a bit of time studying that hole. Not sure what she was looking at...maybe the woodpeckers hid some suet in there! They hide it in every other nook and cranny!
