Several bird species were successful at hatching and fledging babies this summer in the wild wild woods.
This young Black-capped Chickadee found a peanut too big for him, but he can peck at it to manage a treat.
This Downy Woodpecker male (with the red cap) is feeding a young at the suet block, hoping he will learn to help himself before winter sets in.
The two big guys below may look like a battling pair. The brown one is a juvenile Common Grackle begging from his parent at the seed tray. This is how young birds learn to fend for themselves.
