I'm unsure if this is the school hollow pair? I'm intrigued by the grey feathers in the male's crest - they are in a similar place to the yellow feathering of the male that was nesting there, but the rest of his head looked much healthier now. Female was enthusiastically chewing and inspecting a potential new hollow after a branch break. (Also, very obliging of the female to pose gracefully in the late afternoon sun)

:) Thank you! Always a dilemma - do I share to FB bird/wildlife page(s), or to CNM for posterity?
