Mom & Me

I have been hearing some LOUD singing in the morning and evening in the area around our house.  Today I had to investigate to try and learn who had the great voice!  Turns out there is a Woodpecker nest in a dead tree in our neighbor’s yard.  At first I thought Downy Woodpecker, but now I’m leaning toward Hairy Woodpecker – I could be wrong.  When I came close to where I heard the singing, mom Woodpecker made all kinds of racket and then went near the hole where her baby is.  The baby poked it’s head out and mom later brought some food.  Look at how mom is clinging to the side of the tree with her feet.  So cool to see!
