Hello from Fremont, Ohio. A pair of Red-bellied Woodpeckers, for years, have begun nesting in my neighbors huge oak tree, but have always been driven out by Starlings. They disappear somewhere, but still come to my backyard feeders. Now, for the first time, they come to the feeder with a young one! Neat seeing both male and female, plus one young one perched on our platform feeder. The baby is the size of the parents but has no pinkish-red head markings yet. They eat select seeds and the parents take chunks of suet and shove it into the baby's mouth. May be other young RB Woodpeckers, but only see one at a time. Also, the Red-breasted Nuthatches have disappeared for several weeks; haven't seem them. I followed them to the thick conifers in my neighbors yard, but never saw them nesting. Three Ruby-throated Hummingbirds visiting our front porch hangind sugar-water feeder; two females and one male. Planted three rows of Red Salvia, and they hit each flower before hitting the sugar water. Lost a good hiking bud last month...see attachment.
