Yesterday, at Echo Springs in Mammoth Cave Nat'l Park we had good looks at two 
pileateds. Close together on the same tree at one point. You can always count 
on hearing and seeing several pileateds at MaCa. Had a great full wingspan look 
while flying close by down the trail in front of us. I could see how one could 
mistake it for an Ivory Bill. We camp at MaCa at least one day a month and you 
can hear pileateds every trip, especially around Maple Springs and at the 
Dennison Ferry.

This morning we have one kestrel on the line 300 ft in front of our house. 
Beautiful on a cold winter day. Wonder where the other kestrel is?
