Observed a pair-male and female-of pileated woodpeckers exploring the pickings
on a cottonwood and ash tree in our backyard on Pleasant Hollow Road in
Freeville yesterday evening. They spent a long time with us. Lovely! Guess we
should start looking around for a nest hole somewhere nearby..
Wednesday a pair of pileated woodpeckers came for suet. The suet
baskets are located on opposite sides of a beech tree a few feet from
the study window. They flew off before I could take a photo. It is
common to see either one of the pair, but very seldom are both seen.
