I saw the cutest thing yesterday. I couldn't get photos of it, it happened so fast . . .- a very young acorn woodpecker (no red crest yet) landed on our deck railing and started picking up the seeds to eat. He was busy doing his thing and enjoying the taste I guess. In a minute or so, either his mom or dad flew down to join him and picked up a few seeds to eat as well . . .
- at that point the baby started cheeping and squawking like crazy - sounded like his foot was stuck or something! The parent looked long at the kid (and ~sighed~ I bet) - then started picking up individual seeds to feed to the baby . . . one by one & one by one . . .
After the parent had landed, the baby absolutely refused to pick up his own seeds. He just made the most annoying squeaking sounds so the parent would give him undivided attention and FEED HIM seeds! Isn't that just like little kids!? ~N
