nice capture!

Congrats on the sightings. Well done in spite of the branches.

Really great find. The branches take nothing away from these- well done

A great set, well done.

Very nice! This is the first time I've been introduced to these birds; they look fantastic. thank you for sharing them

Great shots. Love the actions of the female!

Lovely shots and great find.

Very nice set.

Excellent find and images Gene!
They look a lot like the Pileated we have here except for the obvious difference on the back which gave them their name. Fantastic that you got both in one frame as that's no mean feat, and branches are as much a part of the game as the birds themselves. Well done!
