Polk County, Iowa March 11, 2019

            The male begins excavating then nest cavity and does most of the work, but the female contributes, particularly as the hole nears completion. The entrance hole is oblong rather than the circular shape of most woodpecker holes. This male Pileated seemed to be looking for a suitable tree to start the nest building process as he was moving from tree to tree tapping and moving around each tree before moving on to another one.
