Hi Sandi, Downy Woodpeckers incubate their eggs for about 12 days and brood the young for another 18-21 days before the young are ready to leave the nest. Then, those fledglings will stick around their parents for at least another 3 weeks while they learn how to fly more strongly and forage for themselves.
Aww! Baby was chocking?!
Yes, It was for at least thirty seconds, but then it coughed up the suet.

Me too!
Do you have a bird bath?
Do not have a bird bath.
When do woodpecker babies hatch and leave the nest area?
