Very common behaviour in our yard the last couple of days. Several pairs of 
 hairys and downys nesting here and now that the babies are out it is  
sometimes hard to work out who is chasing and feeding  whom.

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.
