A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Okay guys here is a less disgusting photograph of a nest. However I need your help to help me identify it. It was made in a dead tree in the wooded areas of Caddo Lake the same lake I took the horse dung. I it must be some sort of medium sized bird.
Wooded areas in the piney woods of Texas.
I am an amateur when it comes to birds I am pretty good at the names but when it comes to identifying nests I am total rubbish. I can tell you I do know a hummingbird nest, a barn swallow nest, and some others I just do more with the physical animals, and their tracks, and signs. I am just got into birding as a serious hobby a couple of years back. so its still rather new to me which is real exciting. however I have always been an animal fanatic.

Doreen, there's no nest, just a hole in the tree.
Where is the nest?
Thanks for the update I knew that the pileated Woodpecker was a common one around those parts of Texas but the Downy and red-bellied are ones I have heard of my book might be outdated and they have updated the range. Thanks i'll take it under advisement. Thanks again.
I would go with a woodpecker's nest hole. Red-bellied, Pileated, and Downy Woodpeckers are common there in breeding season.
