Yes, the birds are more dependent. I'm worried about the woodpecker nest that I only recently realized was occupied. Usually the woodpecker parents go to my feeder from time to time, but I haven't seen a woodpecker at the feeders since winter ended. I've only seen the male feeding the young a bit since I noticed the nest in the red oak. I'm afraid the baby or babies aren't being fed much. So I took one of those bamboo yard skeeter torch holders and put a little pot in the empty torch holder and filled the pot with food I thought woodpeckers would like. Then tied it up on a fence near the nest tree. Don't know if it will do any good. Okay, so I'm a soft touch for hungry wildlife!
