Update on the Pileated Woodpecker babies!
My friend and her husband fixed the nest as best they could, and put the babies in it. The parents never came back :-(
When checking the box, they discovered the smaller of the two babies was dead. Probably something wrong, or an injury, as they took quite a tumble when the nest fell.
So, this little guy or girl is doing VERY well!
15 days now and eating and growing like a champ. He/she is becoming very skittish of human interaction...now that he/she can see and all...that honestly, that's a good thing.I should be able to get pics next week, one more time. Then little one will be fledging and flying away.
So bittersweet!
