The pair of Downy Woodpeckers, seen on May 15 excavating a nest cavity in the wild wild woods, have successfully hatched their clutch of 6 eggs. For the last several days, they spent many hours hunting for small insects and worms to feed their young. Sometimes hunting is good; they have to line up and take turns delivering the meals. For protection from intruders, these small birds purposely create a cozy cavity with an opening just big enough for them to squeeze through.
