We couldn't tell if this was a mom or a dad. The youngster would raise a ruckus when he thought the parent with food was nearby. The trees were just in front of the cabins at the Convict Lake Resort.
(Convict Lake got its name from a group of escaped convicts who were captured in the canyon in 1871. Read all about it HERE.)

Tash, what a memory you brought back.
When I was in the first grade I had to say a little poem in front of the class... This is how it went.
"A woodpecker pecked out a little round hole, and made him a home in the telephone pole."
I never forgot it!
Beautiful captures, love the still and also really appreciate the short video.
Wonderful!
Dear little fellow.
Beautiful bird! I've always wanted to be a red head ;-)
(Thank you for the link!)
Wonderful capture!
Look, a wee video production.
Thats a great story about the origins of Convict Lake. My girlfriend lives in Benton although I tell people it's Bishop
