Downy Builds a Nest

The little woodpecker was hyperactive on this tree, up and down, up and down, carrying unidentifiable stuff in its mouth. So, I assume s/he was building or adding to a nest. It didn't look like food. UPDATE: I'm totally wrong...these are insects in a huge bunch in its mouth. So maybe not nest building, but nest feeding!
And it was sort of a half and half for May.

It looks to me like a whole bunch of insects Taffy. Maybe it is food?

Nice capture of this woodpecker doing its thing. Maybe it is lichen that it has in its beak? A bunch of ants?

I’m thinking maybe insects? By the way, a couple of days ago I posted a shot of a camas flower using the idea of a printed blurred background. I like how it turned out
