Pileated woodpeckers (female)

Parents are bringing their young to the feeders. The juvenile is at the top of the photo and the adult is at the bottom. The main way to distinguish them is by behavior, and eye color. I observed the juvenile being fed. Also the adult has a yellow eye and the juvenile has a dark eye. I took this through the back patio door glass.
