Red-Headed Woodpeckers


The Red-headed woodpecker is a frequent visitor to my feeders, but today was the first time I saw the young red-headed woodpecker (for sure, I wondered if I was seeing it before but could not tell for sure). The adult would get a sunflower seed from the feeder and take it up to the tree where the young bird was waiting. The adult then cracked the seed and fed the young bird, How much fun to watch!!

Great shot, Sherri! I now have my own juvenile red-head! I've never seen the adults around but I seem to be raising him on Woodpecker Wise!
