Ideas for feeding woodpeckers?  
Anyone know of anything vegetarian I could put out to feed woodpeckers?

I know, I know: they're insectivores. But there's a gorgeous woodpecker that's hanging out in my backyard, eying the seed and peanuts I put out for the birds and squirrels. I want to encourage him to hang around but I'm not willing to go the suet or beef tallow route.

Ideas? Obviously, I want something stable in our heat/humidity because I don't want to kill the little guy.

I only see the woodpecker in the morning so hopefully any lizards he's snagging are the little green anoles. (Though really, if he asked me, I'd ask him to leave them and concentrate on the bugs infesting the many trees.)

Not that I have many anoles, either. *sigh* I miss the lizards. 'Course, the daily bird frenzy might have convinced them to move elsewhere.
