and then there was one

Today when I looked up at the pileated woodpecker nest, there was only one head sticking out. One of the nestlings was much larger and I think she may have fledged. Even if the eggs hatched just a few days apart, the older hatchling gets bigger very fast.

One of the parents was feeding the remaining nestling. The other is probably watching over the one who fledged. I would take pictures but it would just be a pine tree with a distant hole in it. I don't have the fancy zoom lens needed for that shot.
