I’ve visited this tree hole a few times hoping to spot a Pileated Woodpecker, but always came up empty. Today I saw the true homeowners, Red-bellied Woodpeckers – not the large bird I was hoping for, but still very cool. Every few minutes, mom or dad would show up with insects or berries to feed the babies hidden inside.
