Nice. They never come to our suet feeder, only stay higher in the trees unless they work on a fallen log.
Ours come daily, male and females taking turns.
You might try a different kind of suet. I've been using a "Woodpecker Treat" suet in one feeder and a high-energy suet in another adjacent feeder for the last year. The woodpeckers (PWP, downy, hairy, and flickers) generally avoid the latter suet. My gallery has a picture of a PWP on one of the feeders and others on snags and rotting rounds in the yard.
Nice sighting. No snow here in Tucson. 
I've used high energy suet , but for these I use peanut butter suet
thanks ...no snow? in Arizona...who would have thoughtNice sighting. No snow here in Tucson.
