An Amateur Photographer's Triumph

So a while back I did this post telling you about some birds around the barn: Pileated Woodpecker They're really fascinating birds. There is a couple that have made a nest and hatched some babies. Mo's 'mom' got these fabulous pictures the other day:

Above is one of the adults with wings spread as it was going after a squirrel. Below is a baby hanging out of the nest, ready for mom or dad to come feed him.

Then yesterday I finally got a chance to get some pix of my own. Imagine our excitement when we realized there were two babies in the nest!
