It's that time of year when you might see adult birds arriving at your feeders with their recently fledged offspring. Here, an adult male Hairy Woodpecker arrives at the Cornell Feeders with a male fledgling in tow! We can tell who's who by observing both the behavior and appearance of the birds. The adult keeps busy by shutting bits of food from the middle suet feeder to his young perched on the log-shaped feeder. Adult males can also be identified by their red patch on the back of their heads, whereas juvenile male Hairy Woodpeckers have a red patch on the front of their crowns.

This FeederWatch cam is located in the Treman Bird Feeding Garden at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca, New York. Perched on the edge of both Sapsucker Woods and its 10-acre pond, these feeders attract both forest species like chickadees and woodpeckers as well as some species that prefer open environments near water like Red-winged Blackbirds.
The Wild Birds Unlimited store at Sapsucker Woods has been a part of the visitor experience in the Cornell Lab’s Visitor Center ever since the new building opened in 2003. They are the preferred vendor of official Cornell Lab merchandise and offer a dizzying number of feeders, binoculars, and birdwatching-related gear and gifts to make any bird enthusiast happy. WBU has also pledged support for many of the Cornell Lab’s local efforts, including providing the bird feeders and food for this FeederWatch Cam.
The FeederWatch cam hardware includes an Axis P1448-LE camera with an an ETS ML1-WPW microphone.
