Female Pileated Woodpecker

We are thrilled to have a pair of pileated woodpeckers nesting nearby. There are two nest cavities on the same tree . . . one is about five feet above the occupied nest. In this capture she went to the upper (wrong) nest entrance. It was kind of pitiful. She looked inside, around, above and back inside. Then she looked below and scampered on down to the right one.
