Watching Woodpeckers

I had some 'extra' time on Wednesday and pulled out the Ruby-crowned Kinglet to stitch.  Got quite a bit of the main branches outlined.  I love this stitch, but this time of year it seems like all my spare time is spent outside - birding, planting, watering.

The woodpeckers continue provide me with daily entertainment.
I've had a mix of Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers - adults and youngsters.

The other day I had a male adult Downy... 

...waiting for a male adult Hairy Woodpecker to finish up.

The juvenile Downy also waited...

...while the juvenile Hairy was fed by his father.

I haven't seen any fledgling Flickers, but this one was making usual sounds while eating.

I wondered if he was talking to a fledgling that I could not see.
