Bird-watching 4/5/2022
I've had an amazing morning. I was at my bus-stop this morning, around 6:40 AM, and I managed to spot a possible breeding pair of Pileated Woodpeckers - there was a pair of them on a large oak tree next to my neighbor's lawn. One of them was on a large part of a huge branch, possibly guarding a nest. The other was really active and was busily hopping from branch to branch, looking for insects to eat.
I'm really excited about this, as I've never seen a breeding pair or a nest before. I've been watching Pileated Woodpeckers since I first moved to Raymond, NH in 2018.
I also observed a male Northern Cardinal and several White-breasted Nuthatches at my bus-stop this morning.
What experiences have others had with watching Pileated Woodpeckers?
Does anyone have some good stories to share?
Anyway, I hope everyone's having a great day so far.
