Lewis's Woodpecker family portraits

I am still struggling with my photo software and with memory--too many photos on my hard drive and I am trying to transfer to an external hard drive (sounded simple-ha!). So will work on today's treats--a family of Lewis's Woodpeckers with at least 5 juveniles and 1 adult that I enjoyed watching and photographing at my friend's farm near Canon City. I am not sure how old these juveniles are-they fly fairly well but still a little unsteady on more precarious perches And I saw juveniles chase an adult bird and beg for food several times so they are probably not more than a week or two from fledging.

The juvenile birds did a lot of flying around, presumably practicing their new skills. The first photo is of an adult bird. The second photo is of a flying juvenile. See more Lewis's Woodpecker photos here
