Hairy Woodpeckers-hatchlings!

[deb&tony]

Our resident pair of hairy woodpeckers have begun feeding their hatchlings as of yesterday. We know this because they are at the window at 6 am or earlier lining their beaks with suet or nut pieces. Just a few minutes ago, the male and female dared to arrive at the same time, and the rattle call was unbelievable, as usual the male won the right to line his beak with nut pieces first while she waited patiently, hmmmmm.... well, they are good parents.

Cool thing to have in your backyard! Id love to see pictures! Good to hear they take better care of their babies then they do their relationship!

Keep us posted as things progress. Im sure the little ones will be shown the feeders when they fledge?
