Pileated Woodpeckers have really been active in my backyard this summer and since having their young they’ve put on a real show for me almost every day. In these shots, I’ve tried to give a picture of the interaction between the adult male and a youngster. After a while the parent, in this case the adult male, fed the young female but when it continued to beg the adult male gave it a very stern look and what I didn’t catch was the good pecking the adult male gave to the young female. After a couple of strong pecks, the young male hopped over to the suet feeder and began feeding itself. This type action has been happening every day.
