Training day

I caught this little guy on the deck the other morning, possibly nibbling on my flowers.


He is a baby red belly woodpecker.


It wasn't long before dad arrived and showed him what you're really supposed to eat on the deck.




After a couple minutes, dad flew away. The little guy stayed for a few more seconds, and then flew off, too.


The red bellies are regular visitors to my suet feeder, but I don't remember seeing a baby before. I hope he remembers where the good stuff is and comes back often.
