Watch the goings on as a pair of pileated woodpeckers hollow out a nesting cavity. This 3 minute video is made up of clips taken over an eight day period
Congrats on a wonderful find and series documentation! I have not seen that in the wild yet. I especially enjoyed seeing it tossing wood chips out of the nesting cavity and the adult tapping the trunk as though ringing a doorbell right before the other adult flew out. This is great!
