Nest Hole Excavation

I haven't posted anything for a few weeks as things have been very hectic for us. Here's an image of a male Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker excavating a potential nest hole.

 

I had seen the male and female together on this tree as I was walking along a trail. I stopped well back and after a they flew off I positioned myself in the brush a distance away and waited to see it they would return.
