Both at the same time which is unusual as far as getting them close enough to actually get a photo. So this was a very good day with the pair. <br />
As you can see by the one photo of it up in the tree. It was a cool day. Feathers were all fluffed up. Probably wishing it was still south. This has been a late spring and weather is up and down like a yo-yo tempurature wise. Very unsettling for the birds who are arriving back and also for the birds already nesting.<br />

Still calling and chasing. Came to peanuts feeder through the day and were both in the feer area in the backyard habitat together. They were on the ground eating seeds and one was on the shelter cover checking out it's mate below. They stayed there for a while before flying off. <br />

Babies crying. Starlings at the tree. <br />Starlings kept peeping inside and nestlings jumped at them mouths agape.<br />I was very concerned for the young ones.<br />10:00<br />Parent bird arrived.<br />Starlings were chased off.<br />I think because the nestlings were so feisty and hungry that made it difficult for the starlings.<br />Young nestlings went right after the starlings with mouths open wide.<br />Starlings always backed off.<br />After that parents fed every 15 min.<br /><br />June 26th<br />5pm<br />1 nestling pooped it's head out of the hole briefly.<br /><br />June 27th<br />1 nestling pooped it's head out this morning and looked all around.<br />Parents feeding a lot now.<br />Peanuts,green caterpillars,dragonflies.<br />Parents perch on the outside of the nest now and feed through the hole.<br />2 nestlings seen now.<br />Growing very fast.<br />Parents looking tired.<br /><br />June 28th<br />1 nestling out and checking everything including me out.<br />Other young are jumping at parents for food.<br />9:30<br />Another bought with the starlings.<br />Young going right at it for food and made it back off.

High pitch squeaking always gives them away.<br /><br />July 14th<br />Baby at the birdbath this morning. Never see them go there. And never have seen it since for that matter. Parent joined it for a drink and a rest. Photo's taken.<br />July 15th<br />We have 5 red headed woodpeckers here. Chattering,chasing,drumming and vocalizing. I am guessing the young are learning from this adventure.<br />1 sits in the trees while the other one joins in the fun and games.<br />July 17th<br />!st day I have actually seen the 2nd fledgling.<br />Until today I was hearing it but had not seen it.<br />July 20th<br />1 young is obviously smaller than the other one. Squeaking while the other is chattering. But doing well.<br />Have not had the 3rd adult in a couple days now.<br />July 1st<br />Today we had red bellied and red headed here together. Red headed has always chased off red bellied. But have put more feeders out this year and it has paid off. <br />Seem to be getting along.<br />1st young seems to almost be feeding on it's own.<br />2nd is being fed all the time still.<br />July 22nd<br />3pm<br />Heard calling, not 10 ft. from me as I was watering the garden was the young red headed at the feeder.<br />Both parents were close by with other young.<br />THEN a 3rd young one showed up and flew to the other 2.<br />My calculations were right. They had 3.<br />This last one follows Mom everywhere. And is squeaking,and being fed.<br />The reuniting of the 3 siblings was really something.<br />July 27th<br />Family is here daily.<br />1 young is feeding all on it's own now.<br />July 31st.<br />All feeding independently now. But youngest still being fed on the side.<br />The oldest I call Chatterbox.<br />He chatters all the time and seems ticked off at the world.<br />His chattering attracted a female hummingbird and a couple of young orioles today. <br />It was really something.<br />Probably curious to his actions.<br />He just never stops.<br />He chatters and bobs his head up & down. Very cute!<br /><br />August. 24th<br />2 of the young here bright and early. Chatterbox doing his usual and they seem to be displaying to each other.<br />Have not seen 3rd fledgling since Aug.16th. It is out there with it's Mom.<br />I can tell Mom & Dad apart by Dad's scar on his head.<br /><br />Sept.1st<br />Chatterbox here with Dad.<br />Other young still at feeder but is still being fed too.<br />Sept 3rd<br />2 young with Dad and going to feeders on their own.<br /><br />SEPT.3rd.LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE MIGRATED EARLY.<br />Arrived early,migrated early.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />2010<br /><br /><br />May 12th<br />Both male and female arrived together.<br />Went right to nest cavity in tree out back by our pond area. Red bellied worked hard on that nest but starling cased them out.<br />May 15th<br />A lot of drumming going on at the nest cavity here.<br />1 feeding daily.<br /><br />This is not the same pair I have had here for a few years. But I think one of the young from a couple years ago.<br /><br />May 27th<br />Was over by the marina area and heard the pair over in that area calling and chasing. They have nested in there before.<br />I was at Andersen's cottage.I heard them other side of the road right in marina property.<br />June18th<br />Heard the chattering in the big maple tree. Haven't seen for a while.<br />Here again at 8:30pm.<br />June 25th<br />Coming to feeder daily now.<br />June 27th<br />Here daily but now leaving with food. Heading towards marina area.<br />June 28th<br />Must be feeding nestlings.<br /><br />July 11th<br />Here feeding daily and leaving with full mouths. always in same direction.<br />July 14th<br />A lot of calling up the lake but not seen here.<br />July 16th<br />6:45am at the feeders.<br />July 18th<br />Calling to each other up & down the street. No young seen yet.<br />July 21st<br />Adult here pm.<br />July 22nd<br />Heard chattering this morning and chasing this afternoon seeing them up high in the trees.<br />Were here later in the day at the feeders.<br />July 25th<br />Noon<br />Jeff saw 1 young one out back.<br />Then I heard the young high pitch squeaking out front to. There are 2 fledglings.<br />July 27th<br />Feeding young up in the trees.<br />They do not seem to want to be together at all. Sibling rivalry. <br />July 29th<br />Female has joined the male this morning. Possibly a 3rd young one. All are chattering. But 1 squeaking in the trees now. They have not come down yet.<br />Aug. 16th<br />Lynn a friend has reported seeing 1 adult and 2 young at her house over in the Guest road area. About 2-3 km up the road.<br />Aug.19th<br />Calling up the street.<br />Aug 25th<br />Family all calling to each other in the back in the wooded area. Could see them flying from tree to tree.<br />Went out kayaking and could hear them all the way up to Bear Point. Still here,but not coming to the feeders at all. <br />SEPTEMBER 1st. <br />HAVE NOT HEARD THE FAMILY SINCE THIS DAY. (May be the last day until they migrated on.)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />As you can see we have had the red headed woodpeckers here since 2001. And I have been able to successfully follow them almost every year. I feel they are declining due to habitat loss. They are on the species at risk list. If you need to take down a dead tree. Leave a 20-30 foot stump for the woodpeckers. They are loosing their trees so quickly. And they need dead trees to survive. We can help them but not cutting trees down and preserving the forests.Jennifer Howardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07830088226205282545noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541473997023677271.post-78947949385235562852010-09-05T18:05:00.003-04:002010-09-06T12:09:49.008-04:00Arrival on May 12th,2010.May 12th the both red headed woodpeckers arrived together. This is the male I believe. I did not get them together. The were very flighty and did not stay around long. This was a different pair than the last few years. I believe it to be one of my original pairs siblings from 2 years ago. It was here last year but kept it's distance from it's parents when they were nesting. Although they never seemed to mind it at the feeders when they were here. This pair did not stay long and I did not get the opportunity to photograph them as I did the last pair. The original pair never did show up for whatever reason. After having them for so many years it was sad without them here this summer. <br />I never did see the new young red headed woodpeckers at my feeders. It seems they picked a newer territory to feed in this year. Parent was here and fed them here but they did not come in themselves. <br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiORWccVaaxclkygtDcBEiGzwV-1Otj8wSwPcJAsSD4FG7svq4NgacsLhkkq2G_PeyL_8IOJ1xuCNJfTYSfw3EAXMLghtNjCoWnjnkRPslt89eC9M-9IShUkbyGM47YSixzsEt7Wu50-eFv/s1600/DSC00894.JPG"><img style="display:block;

The two did not like to be to close together but I managed to get a them in this one photo.

They nested in a tree on property that l knew the owners and was able to watch the whole thing. l timed it perfectly to the end. Got one fledgling coming out. Missed the other two. But l calculated 3 young and 3 young there were. The male arrived back on April 28th last year. Very early. Female arrived on April 29th. The pair reunited immediately and got to work on the nest that same week. Female rejected first nest built. On the wrong side of the tree. But the male then built on the other side ( facing west ) And the female moved in. l caught them mating and moving in and watched the whole process. It was so amazing. l had 2 occasions that l was there that starling tried to take over. But lost the battle. Once the young were in the nest and l watched with horror. The young were thinking food had arrived and it was starlings trying to take them out. Luckily they were old enough at that point that they were quite boisterous and were almost attacking the starlings for food. Making them back away and then the parent arrived and took over. Although the photos are not in correct order as l had hoped. l got as may as l could find in here. l have so many more. And hope to continue soon to complete the sight. This year l am very disappointed. My woodpeckers arrived late here on May 12th. They were here for a week,calling,chasing,and the male drumming at a fresh nest hole made by the red bellied woodpeckers this year. Starling were to dominate and chased them off. But then they have moved on. l hear them once in a while around the point. But have not been able to positively identify were they are. The last time l heard them was on May 26th over in the Big Bay Point Resort area. They were doing the courting calls. Due to development of the marina area. l can not go in there. There have been hundreds or more trees removed from there this spring. And l have seen a huge difference in the birds. People are taking big trees down at a rate that makes me sick. And always in breeding times. We need to have laws to protect the migratory birds nesting sites. And tree removal should only be allowed during the winter months. Unless of coarse they are a threat. Dead trees taken down should always have at least 20-30 feet left for the woodpeckers. Habitat is disappearing way to fast and the birds are disappearing with it. We all knew this resort or mega resort as they call it would have a devastating effect on the wildlife. and it is proving correct. The trees are not complete yet. Come fall hundred more are gone. Habitat for birds and animals with it. It just makes us all sick!!Jennifer Howardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07830088226205282545noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541473997023677271.post-39128757346066517072010-05-29T10:32:00.002-04:002010-05-29T10:42:13.949-04:00Young red headed woodpeckers ,August.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEHY0qkoX1YPsJVimr06kaMVcnYEqavd4zsIxoQHP799LhaxQxtZ5xFHFQnynn7UiRyDr1GkD0MjikfuPG51r8iQYBbQ-p3bEBL52tBZJewyeLxk_3Y5u264qG6Kmu6KM7rt30J3vvPd0d/s1600/DSC03227.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 198px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEHY0qkoX1YPsJVimr06kaMVcnYEqavd4zsIxoQHP799LhaxQxtZ5xFHFQnynn7UiRyDr1GkD0MjikfuPG51r8iQYBbQ-p3bEBL52tBZJewyeLxk_3Y5u264qG6Kmu6KM7rt30J3vvPd0d/s320/DSC03227.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476700987406822002" /></a>Playing around the post across the street made for some good finding food experiences.

This baby was fed much longer than these two who were on there own feeding at this point. But of coarse still wanting to be fed once in a while. Mom & Dad were kept very busy. They always come in the spring fresh and beautiful and by fall ,look a bit worse for wear.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9NBDr2LOxvl3Iejmc0Y66rNHD0EWTGNFpUbMnmCiCBE8ySNNmc2L036PFq0Z9fb4pmHxupGLlEgxdWvWVCOJnwdTZalpBIqK__WISWtKIRpzO8HIS_Yw9SGUb_523fi6AVb6T7BIt4S0J/s1600/_DSC3408.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9NBDr2LOxvl3Iejmc0Y66rNHD0EWTGNFpUbMnmCiCBE8ySNNmc2L036PFq0Z9fb4pmHxupGLlEgxdWvWVCOJnwdTZalpBIqK__WISWtKIRpzO8HIS_Yw9SGUb_523fi6AVb6T7BIt4S0J/s320/_DSC3408.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476700977852091410" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiudsMxc-16X5fk7QOZ4yhtlZ7bDO7nrm9k9bHU5rK-XjCh_PN0KzJPMXYujeKclQEsnJibqtDjrJUEScubd-NmkUb3lFsd9cIgam_imRB1ZTdx2vJQxd-HB7P3eeg8CrOAeDIaDJtVOcXN/s1600/_DSC3281.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 269px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiudsMxc-16X5fk7QOZ4yhtlZ7bDO7nrm9k9bHU5rK-XjCh_PN0KzJPMXYujeKclQEsnJibqtDjrJUEScubd-NmkUb3lFsd9cIgam_imRB1ZTdx2vJQxd-HB7P3eeg8CrOAeDIaDJtVOcXN/s320/_DSC3281.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476700968537005186" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnfhRd6XHxRJ1DlHDpfSARkCb6p8YUL4EHaXy752zQAyePp_N5k4k_F9njKdfNeiMFa3b6vftF6MlBszFK9ydmp2kve5XIwYcYwAFz3JYcFFxH8XUBLg1bRh23ci9yXUELv-Du0PJlyNAL/s1600/_DSC3258.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnfhRd6XHxRJ1DlHDpfSARkCb6p8YUL4EHaXy752zQAyePp_N5k4k_F9njKdfNeiMFa3b6vftF6MlBszFK9ydmp2kve5XIwYcYwAFz3JYcFFxH8XUBLg1bRh23ci9yXUELv-Du0PJlyNAL/s320/_DSC3258.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476700959419263986" /></a>Jennifer Howardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07830088226205282545noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541473997023677271.post-21364579900400311782010-05-29T10:13:00.002-04:002010-05-29T10:25:15.667-04:00August.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc-MofhEEFdMboVgjOEbL15KNCOl20LqD9aVp4tCnpyvSKvzTGp10RsqDiq03Bm0u9vpzEBtasrpfStTd3lNr9rLg3RNZKClfh5bk60QifsRZ43zojbuhs5pBeModo5beCDj9UCw20HZBt/s1600/DSC05854.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 253px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc-MofhEEFdMboVgjOEbL15KNCOl20LqD9aVp4tCnpyvSKvzTGp10RsqDiq03Bm0u9vpzEBtasrpfStTd3lNr9rLg3RNZKClfh5bk60QifsRZ43zojbuhs5pBeModo5beCDj9UCw20HZBt/s320/DSC05854.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476697023703777250" /></a>Finally the food is transfered to the young woodpecker.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdQMKC5HwFOj74JyklHTV-a3lDbIYjs-HTMYydl7i2ou8ha4dQnVJ_LuZqcuN8H5GgaZhIQs5Znpqp8WRmuLz5imn7hKabDlh8QeouEOePbkIi0FPx3bGxSvcWM9l2ok1D0i8O-MYR3raM/s1600/DSC05853.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 225px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdQMKC5HwFOj74JyklHTV-a3lDbIYjs-HTMYydl7i2ou8ha4dQnVJ_LuZqcuN8H5GgaZhIQs5Znpqp8WRmuLz5imn7hKabDlh8QeouEOePbkIi0FPx3bGxSvcWM9l2ok1D0i8O-MYR3raM/s320/DSC05853.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476697015554496786" /></a>This almost looks like a wee fish in the parents beak.

Fledged red headed disappeared into the woods. Could here it calling. But no parents in sight. But we had to move on. l am thinking this is the last to fledge. l know we heard 3 in the nest.

He built this nest over a weeks time and the female rejected it. He then moved to the other side of this same tree and built another nest that she readily moved into.

This is the earliest it has arrived as yet. About 4 days early. Male arrives first then the female usually a week or so later. However this year she arrived the very next day. A first since 200o. l have had them here almost every year. They missed 3. But one was seen in the area one of those years,coming out of a wooded area in a local marina. 2001 they had 3 wee ones and all other years 2. This year they had 3 successful little ones.<br /><div><br /><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcIZUmrlWCJ5M1hFnUgEwLnlEIaGosBmpv45k0qbnfFYSXMMNnmxUNDMVm4zd9CtnK_GEPNAAew2nkTfXwqayRNdSbqdnQew79_xKWUuu2n8aNFyHH3qHIesKUqOeUT5dPR0DAlMPnHbTI/s1600-h/_DSC8790.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcIZUmrlWCJ5M1hFnUgEwLnlEIaGosBmpv45k0qbnfFYSXMMNnmxUNDMVm4zd9CtnK_GEPNAAew2nkTfXwqayRNdSbqdnQew79_xKWUuu2n8aNFyHH3qHIesKUqOeUT5dPR0DAlMPnHbTI/s320/_DSC8790.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366935022898933730" /></a><br /></div></div></div>Jennifer Howardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07830088226205282545noreply@blogger.com0
