The photos are of the male and female woodpecker ferrying food to their young. I supply peanut suet all year and oranges while they are feeding their young. Interestingly, the woodpeckers visit the feeders frequently while feeding their young, and the rest of the year they only visit the feeders occasionally. When their fledglings leave the nest and discover the suet feeder, the male will limit their access to suet by running them off, so that the fledglings learn to fend for themselves.

Also, the woodpeckers are accustomed to seeing me near the feeders and pay little attention to me, but when I approached the nest, they were more than a bit concerned, so I did not hang around to take many pictures. The last image is a single frame extracted from a video. I thought it was interesting, although it is not something I would want to hang on a wall. I hope you enjoy the photos and thanks for viewing.
