Taking a Break from Owls…a Pileated Woodpecker

Woody is one brave woodpecker.

Mr. Woody here just flew in with mama owl while I was shooting today. Mrs. Woody is holed up in the same tree as the owls and I have been noticing that whenever the female owl is around so is Woody. We know that small birds are one of the owl's prey, so these guys are pretty brave to have their nest in the same tree as the owls. I'll try to get a photo of the female coming out of her woodpecker hole soon.
