Caught this woodpecker feeding the baby. This is as close as they allow one to get.

Wow Eric lovely photos. I have never seen a Woodpecker. Thank you for posting those photos.
Great pics. Eric. Your are indeed lucky to have the GS Woodie.
;)
It's always a privilege to see nature like this, thanks palustris.
Super photo, Eric. My brother-in-law gets Woodpeckers on his feeders but I've never seen one here.

What a pleasure it must have been to actually see for yourself! Wonderful pic Eric, well done.
beautiful pictures
Great shots there! Such a wildly colorful bird.
I thought that if the adult had red on the back of its head it was male. I get both visiting the feeders ie. with and without the red patch.
What camera do you use?
Oh lucky you, they are stunning birds. I have only ever had one at my feeders, that was in early spring this year.
Long may they feed in your garden :D
