A woodpecker's tale~Nature Notes~052914

When we pulled into the driveway that led down to the cabin we rented last weekend, I immediately noticed a woodpecker enter a hole in a tree and then I heard the chirps of the baby woodpeckers.  It was a woodpecker nest!  I walked down to it several times and stood for 15-20 minutes, but the mother didn't return.  Finally, on one of my walks over to the main lodge, I finally spotted her and got these photos.  Nature's Notes for May 29, 2014.   To visit Nature's Notes, please go to:   http://ramblingwoods.com/  She must have had some hungry babies!  I heard them every time I walked by the tree.  I saw her enter it a few times, but she was so fast...I was lucky to get these photos!

    Pretty woodpecker! Does it have an all white head? Great sighting.

    Yes. The female had an all-white head, but the male had a red spot on his.

    Great pictures of those woodpeckers. And I love your header. Never seen that many mountain goats? at once.

    Oh what a treat Cheryl Ann and I have never seen a woodpecker like that but the male woodpeckers all seem to have a red spot as the ones here do too... Michelle
