1 Temper Tantrum
I had to chuckle at the antics of this little juvenile woodpecker. For several days his mother had brought him here and fed suet to him. Today the mother was at the suet basket but she stopped feeding him and was eating the suet herself. Junior fussed at her and raised the sparse red feathers on top of his head which was a woodpecker version of a temper tantrum.
