Early this spring we watched as a pair of Red-bellied Woodpeckers made a home by excavating a cavity in a dead snag. A pair of babies hatched and are now hanging around with the adults learning to feed themselves. As can be seen in the picture, there is great contrast between the adult and the immature. I wouldn't say the baby is an ugly duckling but he/she is definitely a plain jane compared to mom/dad. Sorry about that Jane.
