Pale-Billed Woodpecker Nest Cavity / Hole

My excitement for the morning was discovering that where I had been seeing a male Pale-Billed Woodpecker, there were actually two birds, and one of the woodpeckers was a female. When the tandem flew back to a large tree, I realized there was a large cavity that the female called home. Although the tree was on private property and no real close, I was happy I had decided to bring my Canon SX70 Super Zoom camera down to Costa Rica with me. Zoom and Zowie! (super zoom cameras are great given bright, sunny conditions … which are ever present down here in Costa Rica).
