The Hairy Woodpecker Fledglings are so much fun to watch. 

Here Mama Bird feeds her son. 

Here's Dad Bird also with a young son.

Is the fledgling male the same one?  I don't know.

I've never seen Mom, Dad, and kid or kids all together.

While The Downy Woodpeckers are still feeding babies in the nest, one has fledged. 

Here's Mama feeding...

...yes, you guessed it...a boy! 

The Starlings have mostly dispersed, so I was able to put out more suet in the back.  And as soon as I did...

...the Acorn Woodpeckers showed up. 

And so did the Flickers.  

I could look at this bird for hours.

So much to admire with the stripes, solid blocks or color, and polka dots.

  2. I noticed the stripes previously, but not the polka dots. What a beautiful bird! Glad the starlings have disbanded and the Acorn Woodpecker showed up. What sweet photos you captured of the young being fed by Mom or Dad!
