Media notes
Repeated interaction between these 2 females. It appeared to be dominance-related.
Observation details
As was true the last time we were here, these woodpeckers were chasing each other all over the park. Today 2 females and 1 male were particularly involved. It was hard to keep track of who was doing the chasing, but there was a lot of aggressive behavior between the 2 females, while the male worked on a hole in a nearby tree. Eventually he copulated with one of the females.
