style=3D'font-weight:bol --0016e644c5ac6c9911048ad5d009 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi again, Here's a quote from the article on Hairy woodpecker in Birds of N.America Online --- Young remain dependent on their parents for several weeks, often remaining on same trunk or branch for hours, dependent on an adult to bring food. Within a few days, fledgling will increasingly explore its perch trunk or limb, occasionally ingesting discovered prey, but remains very much dependent on adults for most food. No data on marked birds to indicate age at independence, but circumstantial evidence of adults seen with fledglings at feeders suggests that fledgling dependency may last at least 3=964 wk (JAJ). <Jackson, Jerome A., Henri R.
