A male pileated woodpecker returns to the nest to feed its eager young. The babies heard the adult arriving and came to the mouth of their hole to wait, each one hoping for the first bite. This bird (Dryocopus pileatus) may be the largest North American woodpecker; the ivory-billed woodpecker is larger but may be extinct. I photographed this nest at Fontenelle Forest Nature Preserve in eastern Nebraska. They are more common in the eastern United States and on the Pacific coast, and it is unusual to see one of these birds here.

I use my camera to explore the world around me and as a basis for creative expression. Because I live in Nebraska, I have a fondness for rural scenes that will be evident as you explore my images, but I enjoy traveling and have many other interests as well. I hope you enjoy your visit.
