Thanks for sharing Jerry. It's amazing what can be learned by
sharing recordings with this group.
I also happened on a baby woodpecker this week that was
constantly complaining through the daylight hours, and I was
wondering the same thing - is that normal? It was nice to learn
from Fred Fallon's response to your posting that this is normal
behavior for woodpeckers.=20
The one that I heard and recorded is, I believe, either a Hairy or a
Downy woodpecker (I still get them mixed up). In this three
minute snippett you can hear the baby constantly complaining
while an adult stops by, making purring sounds while checking
in ( 2.7 MB):
