Red-bellied Woodpecker - Caching Food for Juvenile

It's been very exciting to see this behavior from my deck. This male Red-bellied Woodpecker has been gathering food (mostly berries and peanut butter suet) and caching it in tree cavities for its Juvenile to find. The Juvenile is usually in a nearby tree and once the adult flies off, it comes in and tries to find the food and then has its little feast.
