These pileated woodpeckers were such great parents. Not only did they constantly bring in food to 3 hungry chicks, but they cleaned out the bottom of the cavity after EACH feeding. Many of the other nests I have monitored were cleaned out after each 2-3 feedings. You don't realize how hard these birds work on rearing their young until you stand at a nest day-after-day and watch their amazing hard work and dedication. Unfortunately, this nest tree fell as a result of a storm, but the 3 chicks successfully fledged. östermalm C & C always welcomed and much appreciated.

Nice capture Marina. The woodpecker looks nice and sharp and the pose and the wing and HA look good. I like the good look at the feet and the look at the nest cavity. Wish there was some more room at the top but I see it full frame. Well done Oh, I like the title of the shot too. :)
Marina, really good behavior östermalm image. I have no idea that these birds do clean up after each feeding. You captured a great moment here with perfect sharpness. östermalm I see what David said here about more room on top, but it is very minor considering the overall image. Loi
Marina, you caught this beautifully and a good bit of info about the life of these birds. Keith.
Great capture, Marina. Good work catching a nice wing position, and not clipping a wingtip. I suspect östermalm that when they emerge from the cavity, they do so quickly, requiring a fast trigger finger.
