A Family Afair


This woodpecker couple are dining together. Earlier in the spring I watched the two of them exchanging nest duty. If the male would stay away from the nest of eggs too long, the female would fly out and rip him a 'what for'. He would immediately return to the nest to do his duty. This photo was captured after the eggs had hatched and bringing food back to the young was the parents principle activity.
