20080402 504 Pileated Woodpeckers SERIES.jpg

Mud Lake, Ottawa

Four action shots of male chasing away female (or just chasing female with female playing hard to get). First: Male peeking over tree trunk whilst female is hard at work making holes.


Second: Male edges closer.


Third: When male gets too close, female moves away.


Fourth: Female flies away as male rushes at her. (Perhaps this was just part of their mating ritual?)
