Unacceptable Rypstra
362 (4) (WS) Yearning
The same Pileated Woodpecker nest as yesterday's upload.
I went back in the evening with a photographer friend, who was kind enough to lend me his 1.4 x teleconverter. One could almost feel the yearning this chick had to leave the nest. There were several times I thought we would see this young male fledge before our eyes. Indeed, when we went back two days later, both chicks were gone.
I made several videos too. Part I can be viewed on my YouTube channel. It is the same link as the one with yesterday's upload, so if you follow me, there is no need to see it again. I'm not sure when I will find the time for part II & III... ( youtu.be/7ElDUeYTF7U )
