Young Flicker Waiting To Be Fed

Description
Young northern flicker woodpecker (Colaptes auratus), red-shafted subspecies, with its head and upper body outside its nest cavity, waiting to be fed by one of its parents. I saw both parents feeding young at this nest. The nest is in a tree snag we intentionally left in our yard in Seattle to attract woodpeckers and other wildlife. Blue sky is in the background. After the day this photo was taken, a few days ago, I have not seen young in the nest. I assume the young flickers have fledged and flown away from the nest. I do not know how many young were in the nest. I never saw more than one at a time, but when an adult arrived with food it sounded like there were several young.

We were blessed to have a flicker nest in our silver maple tree....the hole so expertly crafted. During one of our spectacular spring storms the mother shielded the nest with her wing. Amazing photo, Marv. You don't get many chances for photos with this beauty!
