I alerted a dog owner to leash her dog and good thing - I was only ten or fifteen feet away from the young one and it didn't fly away. Its feathers still looked somewhat immature and colors subdued, but it was still not that much smaller than the adult. The adult flew off across the park first, keeping an eye on me, and after about five minutes of intermittently staring at me and pecking at the log, the youngster flew away squawking almost like a duck.

They seem to have made a lot of holes this winter that look like last year's nesting hole, I think I am zeroing in on the right one but I am not completely certain.Larry Hubbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346591926338103362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340068615976654326.post-78648686333516583872014-04-16T20:45:14.331-07:002014-04-16T20:45:14.331-07:00Last week I was walking on the road that passes by...Last week I was walking on the road that passes by the entrance to Louisa Boren Park (near the boulder with the plaque) and saw two Pileated Woodpeckers pecking on the logs on the ground while a couple of crows watched.
