other photos, including the pair. This is the type that Woody
Woodpecker represented. When I lived in Bloomington, Indiana,
a mated pair visited every year. One year they brought their
two babies. They were cute. Nearly the same size as the parents,
their crests had a more orange color and the black had a brownish
cast. They were curious and awkward, often stepping on their
own feet and tumbling over.
