have been bringing their young ones to the yards in recent weeks, and I was only ever able to hear them, they sound like a high-pitched, sharp and excited whistle-woosh. Now yesterday, one of the babies finally dared to come to the camera. I love these “unfinished” woodpeckers, no matter what species, their babies are stinking adorable. In the coming weeks, it will become more clear if this is a male or a female when the feathers on the head begin to take more color. The males are all red while the females have a grey forehead and red cap.
