Fledgling Green Woodpeckers

Over the last week, we have noticed how the bird activity has dropped immensely at the feeding station because the birds are able to find more natural food. Today though, we found something to write about.

We looked out the window this morning and saw three juvenile woodpeckers and one adult male feasting on ant nests on the other side of our residential road. Juveniles are recognisable by their speckled plumage and males have red "moustaches" and females have black ones. Here's an up-close video of a juvenile Green Woodpecker. Enjoy!
