Hairy Woodpecker at nest
This female Hairy Woodpecker was feeding some noisy youngsters in this nest cavity last Saturday, May 13. There is also a Cooper's Hawk pair nesting in the same grove of trees along the Willamette River, which does not bode well for the lifespan of the young woodpeckers when they leave the nest in a week or two.

dear floyd that hairy woodpecker was beautiful but it looked like it was pecking at the tree at first but then I figured out that in the tree was it's nest. I love woodpekers and humming birds. well I love all birds but those two are some of my favorits.
