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.

Amazing series! What a great spot! Hope to see the little ones in later posts.

Heh those guys are so cute..I like it where they take the trash out
You really got lucky Steve...i've been hearing them often but they're so far up I can't bearly see them through the branches!

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

I sure would be happy with this series.

Steve, this is really a nice (behavior) series (as fwyflyr pointed out). The colors are great and images nice and sharp. Great stuff!
