[Mnbird] Pileated pair behavior

Awhile ago we had a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers hammering at the base of a
couple old mountain ash stumps, for grubs, I suppose.   They were at it more
than 20 minutes while I worked by the window.   When I came back there about
15 minutes later they were again (still?) working on it for another 10 or so
minutes before flying to the suet for dessert.  The two members of the
household who will eventually wield the axes on those things were quietly
cheering them on.
