p.1 #1 · The feeding never ends...Pileated Woodpeckers

I�ve been watching the actions between the adults, both female and male, and their young over the past two months, shooting hundreds of shots to get the few that I have here. The harassing by the young never stops, they follow the adults around literally from branch-to-branch begging for whatever the adults are feeding on.

Thanks very much Dave, the Pileated Woodpeckers have sure given me a lot of pleasure, they show up in my backyard most everyday.

Hi Bruce, these guys are in my backyard everyday so my shooting distance is only about 30 feet or so. Fun to watch the actions by the different Woodpeckers and how they interact. Thanks for taking a look.

Nice work Louie. I can barely get a lens on one of these... photos always seem impossible.
It looks like you hit the gold mine.

Fabulous work, Louie!

You did your part admirably and the begging buggers with their accommodating adults did too.

Love the compositions in the way you worked with their red heads and streamlined feeding forms.

Your efforts paid off well!
