Congratulations Steve.

I got my first woodpeckers the other day. But with a 300mm & I seriously doubt I'll get anything out of them due to distance. But I found a nest as well so maybe I'll be lucky the next time...

Looks like a family of Ladder-backed woodpeckers for you

That should be fun to watch and photograph. Nice shots, not too fond of the snacks but they must know best.

A great set of behavior sequences. Looks like you have a great vantage point, too.
