Pileated Woodpecker working on a nest cavity

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!

Great video! When we had our very first Pileated Woodpecker sighting, we were amazed at how big they are! Such amazing birds. New subscriber here ✨

Thanks. Yes it still surprises me when I haven't seen one in a while. Big and beautiful.
