The parent birds are very busy gathering food for the newly hatched young. I got a picture of a pair of Red-bellied Woodpeckers feeding their young. One waiting with a tasty bug while the other gets ready to exit the hole. Also pictured is a Summer Tanager. I also have a couple of baby Song Sparrows about ready to fledge the nest and hope to have their picture posted later this week.

What lovely photos, Gary, thanks for posting them (and for the species IDs). Glad Dad sent me the link to your site!
We have frequent discussions comparing our bird populations -- I'm in the Indiana Dunes. Seeing lots of woodpeckers now, indigo buntings, rose-breasted grosbeaks, and a variety of finches. All morning there was a common nighthawk sitting peacefully on the ridge vent of my garage. Hope to see the green heron and owl next visit home.
