SL 6 Jun 23 Red-bellied Woodpecker (youngster)

This little one had a helicopter parent not too far away that occasionally checked in, but it was going solo for a while. First time I've seen one. Interesting that it peeps like all other young birds. Redstart, titmouse, wren et al on the airwaves too! Observed along the trail at Salem Lake, Linville Road access, near Winston-Salem, NC.
