Dryocopus pileatus
These Pileated Woodpeckers made their nest hole in a telephone pole along a power line cut.
While I was watching this nest hole, first the female came in and fed the chicks, then a few minutes later this male flew in and also fed the chicks.

You are the best person to create one for us!!
Rieko, I agree these are special birds. I haven't seen any mission just for woodpeckers though.
Pileated Woodpecker is such a special bird. Is there a mission for Pileated Woodpecker (or woodpecker)?
I don't blame you, I wouldn't have been able to pass it up either! I've found a white-eyed vireo nest, the egg should be hatching any day now :) Soon I will get to the spotting of mom on the nest, so freaking adorable!
Thanks Ashley! I heard about this nest cavity and had to go check it out and I'm glad I did:-)
