Its parents have taught it well. It is ready to explore its new world now. Fabulous close-up of this cutie going after the peanuts. TFS D!

Young woodpeckers are very entertaining and this picture and your comment brought a smile to my face, Delia! This is a top class portrait of the young woodpecker.
