Pileated Woodpecker Leaving Nest

The saga continues. Today it was another 1.5 hours and this time I got the shot. It is clear now that this woodpecker has little ones. I watched as she gathered bugs and returned to the nest a few times. I worked pretty hard to understand how to time her movements. This was the first success. I have hoped for this picture for years. All it took was 12 hours and 1250th of a second. All good things come to grinders. Now for the little ones.
