First time in my yard!

While sitting on my back porch (May 3rd,2013) I saw a flash of red land on my finch suet feeder. This dual feeder is right next to my black oil sunflower seed feeder, which was currently empty. This lovely bird stayed on the suet feeder for about 5-6 minutes, then was amazing to watch as it flew to another tree! I have not seen this type of bird before, but am not surprised as it seems I'm getting all sorts in my backyard! Lots to enjoy!
