Jane's Backyard Chickens: Birdwatching

Woodpeckers

We are having a baby explosion here. I have seen babies of all sorts waiting on the fence for Mom or Dad to come and feed them.

I have been lucky to be able to watch a Poppa Hairy Woodpecker feed his fat little baby the last few days.

The little guy is so fat.

He waits on the tree while Dad fills up at the feeder and then he flies over to feed him. I have not gotten very clear pics because they just don't quit moving.

I have been seeing them for the last 4 days. The baby has yet to try to fly to the feeder himself.
