Superb capture! You are so lucky to find a nest hole that close! I'm sure i'm not the only ones waiting to see the little ones in the near future. They should be waiting to be fed at the opening soon.

Thanks Muddy ! .....Last year I had a nest in my back yard - they like my my mangos ! I have seen no activity at the Pileated site in the last couple weeks - hopefully I am just missing them ....
