It is fun to see mother Downy Woodpecker pecking suet, while just below her, her cranberry-capped fledge is also pecking suet. Then Mom turns down & feeds baby some suet! Meanwhile, father B Oriole is eating jelly & flying over to his nearby begging baby (flapping wings, twittering, perched on bare twig right outside porch screen) & feeds it the jelly.
Baby Blue Jay looks identical to its parents, except for its wing-flapping, twittering begging behavior! And the hapless hatcher -the Junco - is back on the wide deck rail, where “its“ Cowbird chick feeds on seeds in between parental feedings. Looks like most the kids will feed all on their own soon!
