Quite likely she is the parent. The young, with their fluffier =
feathers,
appear to be larger than the parents. We have Hairy Woodpeckers and =
their
youngsters at our feeders regularly; great fun to watch the antics of =
the
younger birds. We also have at least one pair of Downey Woodpeckers and
youngsters.=20

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.
