In And Out
I believe this to be a male (left) and female pair of sibling Pileated Woodpeckers I saw being coached by a parent in this general area of Armand Bayou a couple of months back. Regardless, the female was contentedly working this hollowed-out cypress trunk when the male charged in and chased her away. Soon enough, though, she returned (see previous post) and maintained a defensible position until both headed off to the denser surrounding flatland forest.
