Description: Shows selection of nest site by a pair of black woodpeckers, digging nest cavity in a tree trunk, and then care of young through various stages to fledging. Both parents participate.

Scenes photographed inside the nest show feeding of young, cleaning movements of parents, sitting on the brood, and general development of young
