Wild Birds Unlimited

Woodpecker nesting season is moving along quickly. Young are leaving nests, well fed, chunky, and as big as their parents. If their parents visit your bird feeders, watch for the young nearby the feeders at first, with parents taking the food over to the young, followed by the fledglings’ first (sometimes clumsy) attempts to visit a bird feeder. What young woodpeckers have you seen so far in your yard?
