Downy Nest

A week after finding the downy nest, I went back to check on it. As I was walking up, I saw the male downy fly out of the nest hole and then come back & land on the tree near the nest. I was able to get this one shot then he flew off & didn't return. I never saw the female and there were no sounds coming from the opening.
