I have pictures of a pair of downy woodpeckers at my peanut feeder. One (presumably the adult) repeatedly went to the feeder to retrieve bits of peanuts and fed them to the other, even though the second bird was obviously big enough to feed for itself; it was actually about the same size as the adult. The adult had no red spot on its head while the second bird had a partially grown in red-ish dusting on its crown. Fun to watch. ...and it was at MY feeder!

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Baby birds all around us
What a year for breeding birds on and around our little (8 acre) Fox Meadow Farm.
In May we saw the baby Dark-eyed Junco's drop out of the hayloft and move to the buckthorn for cover.
Today we have a hen turkey and her 6 poults in the back pasture for over an hour https://www.flickr.com/photos/85567104@N05/sets/72157653319568110.
The Barn Swallows have 5 young in their nest above a light fixture in the barn.
There is an active Cardinal nest outside of my office window - just 18" from the window!
And a young House Finch has been begging and fluttering its wings as the adults feed at the sunflower feeder.
And a very spotted-breast Robin perched on a dead ash tree.
You have to love this time of year.
