Look a Baby Woodpecker

Early this spring Dean and his dad took saws to the apple tree across the street. At the request of the neighbour of course!

A few weeks later we noticed a pair of Flicker Woodpeckers nearby and started watching to see where they would make thier nest. There is a small hollow in the apple tree and that is where they decided to make thier home. It was really the perfect spot for them as spring allowed the foliage to grow around them and hide them from the general view. for us it was perfect too as we have had a chance to watch the adults come and go and have been able to enjoy them while leaving them their space.

Yesterday morning Dean was out in the yard doing some work with his dad on the truck when he noticed that one of the little guys was out venturing on his own. He sent the boy in to get me and the camera and here is the result.
