Yesterday while photographing the Red Headed Woodpeckers and young, my friend John Garofalo took and interesting picture which I would like people to look at and comment on. In the picture you will see a parent looking out of what we have believed to be the only nest hole. In a tree to the right is a hole where two babies are looking out. They appear to be even younger RHW young. Please see if you agree or is this some other bird. You can tell the hole is being actively used due to the whitewash down the front. These babies appear younger than the one that fledged yesterday. Are they RHW babies or not? I personally never saw a parent go to this hole while I was there-only the bottom of three hole.
