This does sound like fun, but to have any hope of attracting
woodpeckers, you'll have to try suet, not seeds. Woodpeckers are meat
eaters (that's why they peck on siding in pursuit of insects).

Find a three-sided aquarium (good place to look is near apartment house
dumpsters).

Line the three (remaining) sides with reflective film. Fashion a wooden lid.
You now have a bird-feeder. Mount this new bird feeder in your breakfast
room window. Open top and put bird seed on the bottom. Replace top.

Little birdies will now come into your house to have their breakfast while
you enjoy their company over yours. Their reflections don't bother them a
bit.

I don't know what kind of seeds woodpeckers are partial to, but that
shouldn't be hard to discover.
