I've been visiting a hairy woodpecker nest hole in a forested park over the last week and a half, and today a little woodpecker stuck eir head out! My vantage is too far away to be sure how many hatchling voices are begging when the parents come with grubs and insects, but I've spied at least the one!

Big news! Did you know that juvenile hairy woodpeckers sometimes -- "infrequently" — have yellow crowns instead of red? Well, if a person stalking a woodpecker family were lucky enough to see one of these yellow-crowned babies, she'd be able to differentiate it from the red-crowned one and know there were at least two kids in the nest! 🥹 #BirdPhotography #wildForWoodpeckers #oregon #birding

@faerye@pie.gd @fitzbew248@mastodon.sdf.org cool! Are you logging that on NestWatch?
