Title: Woodpecker Week
Post by: JW Mills on July 03, 2011, 09:12:24 PM

As reported in another post first mama and then papa Hairy fed their youngster in my yard.
That was followed by mama Downy bringing her youngster to my yard. The little guy still hasn't figured out the suet feeder.
Then one day, a Hairy, Downy and Flicker were all perched in my cherry tree at the same time.
To top the week off, today I saw mama Flicker feeding her youngster.

That's awesome! And what time of day does all this action take place? I'm coming over!  :shock:

Most of the activity is in the early morning, but it does carry on throughout the day.
BTW, the young Hairy is still pestering his parents. The young Downy is on his own and has finally figured out the suet feeder.
