If you click on the photo above you'll see those little downy feathers sticking out of this Red-bellied Woodpecker nest. You can find the nest on the one mile trail at Green Cay. It's on the northeastern side of the Chickee hammock.
I've been watching the woodpeckers all this fall excavate the hole. And sure enough, we have a succesfull nest now. You can often hear both the parents being very vocal on the island. And if you're lucky, you may even catch one returning back to the nest.
