Two More Lake Lotus Birds

Right before I headed out to get the Gallinule family shots I had two more shots along the trails to share.

There was a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers tearing up the trees in search of a snack. They were pounding the trunks so fast that pictures were quite a blur of heads and bill. Finally, one of the birds dug deep enough to extract a grub.

Also, just after the shots of the Barred Owl, I found a Great-crested Flycatcher feeding in the lower branches.

Still working on getting all the final details ironed out to start banding here. Hopefully soon.
