| Hairy Woodpecker, Picoides villosus Horse Cove; Gureley, Alabama |
I shot this female downy about a month ago near
my bird feeders. This female and her mate have successfully hatched a
brood, and is bringing them to my bark butter feeder. Yesterday I saw a
young male being fed by the adult male. Most species of birds raise a
couple of broods here in North Alabama. I suspect that within a few weeks
the adults will be back on the nest.
