Two Sticks Added Before H & M Leave~Crow & Woodpecker Capers 10-26-16

After spending the night in the front pine, H & M worked in the nest. M15 added two sticks, one close to the largest one for him yet. After they flew away, the pasture birds were busy - the crows were in and out of the nest and the pileated woodpecker removed bark from the old cam tree.
