Loving that Nectar

This is the second day I've been watching this female Downy Woodpecker (I assume it's the same one) drinking the hummers' nectar.  I see other birds, especially goldfinches, drink from the inner ant deterrent water but this particular behavior is a first for me.  Obviously their beaks are narrow enough to fit into the opening.  The picture quality is poor because it was through a window and screen, but I wanted to document the activity.
