More babies! Here an adult pileated woodpecker (right) feeds his fledgling son on my deck railing. There are 3 still photos in the Comments. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #HoosierMast #feeding #pileatedwoodpecker
Adult pileated woodpecker (right) and his fledgling son. His fledgling daughter is in the background.
Dad taking off from the railing, wings spread. Fledgling daughter in background.
The fledgling is almost as big as his dad. If you look closely, you can see that during the feeding, his beak comes very close to his parent's eye. Scary.

Wow!
(One of my favorite species of birds.)
@carpingdiem what goegeous birds they are. And surprisingly widespread! I had them in my garden in Ottawa and now I still see them in Northern California!
