Description
Male black-backed woodpecker (Picoides arcticus) exiting it's nest after feeding the chicks inside. Bat Lake Trail, Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, June 2019. Both male & female made repeated visits to feed the chicks while I was nearby. They always kept a wary eye on me but only paused briefly in feeding for a short while when I moved a bit quickly & startled the male on his first visit after I arrived.
