My wife Ami noticed a pair of HAIRY WOODPECKERS being very vocal and =
chasing eachother up and down a power pole. Later, the male started =
eating out of a mostly empty feeder while the female hopped around =
inside our crabapple tree. We noticed that she would visit the male and =
they would exchange food. It looked like she was feeding him [insects =
from the tree?] I managed to capture one of these exchanges.

Could she be his mother? Is this common in mated pairs? Many questions.
