How to Feed a Baby Woodpecker

One of the coolest things we got to watch on our camping trip last weekend was a woodpecker feeding her babies

She was a bit suspicious of us, so if we were making any noise she'd go land on a different tree and wait till we shut up and sat still before she went to the tree with her babies.

That would have been so fun to watch. I was out riding my bike this morning and I saw a fox. I am not sure but I think he was running off with somebody's newspaper...lol

Thanks for stopping to check out my blog. I love your photos of the mommy woodpecker feeding her babies. It is rare that we get to see such a treat and even more rare that a camera is available to snap a pic. Looking forward to reading more of your posts. My in-laws are in Sequim, WA. Beautiful country up there.

What a cute Flicker! I have never seen one of their babies before. You were so lucky. Glad you were able to snap a couple photos to share.
