Lastest UpDate For Red Headed Wood Peckers

I was on a trip for a few days. Before I left I watched the baby Wood Pecker creep further and further out of the hole in the tree. His home actually. He didn't seem to be in any danger but he did spend a lot of time looking in all directions. What a wonderful thing it must have been taking in the sounds and sights for the first time. I don't know what wood peckers think about and I don't know what his impressions were of the small piece of the world around his Dead Tree Home.
I arrived back to our home late Saturday night. I have watched the tree most of the day and there is no activity. I suppose he is off testing his wings and checking out the new world he is now a part of.
I wonder where he will end up? If you hear the rat-a-tat sound of a woodpecker somewhere near your home and you can see it chipping away look carefully to see if it the Little Red Headed Baby Woodpecker from behind our home. Let me know.
I have missed seeing the activity around the tree. I will miss watching the Mom and Dad as they kept the baby nourished and safe. I am sad that I didn't see him take his first flight!
