    Recap:
    Babies are fed.
    Woodpecker begins intrusion.
    After a couple of minutes it can now enter the nest and takes the first baby.
    Parent returns and notices the enlarged entrance, and notices one of the babies missing.
    Parent recognizes presence of another bird outside, which is the Woodpecker. Woodpecker attacks and pulls parent out.
    Woodpecker subsequently takes another baby.
    And another.
    And another.
    Parent returns to see less babies (final time parent is seen).
    Woodpecker returns to take remaining babies.
    My guess is that the babies were abandoned by the remaining parent, because I think when the Woodpecker pulled the other parent out it was either injured, killed or just abandoned the nest.

      The first parent (mother) likely died off screen. The second parent (father) the less aware and bigger bird likely followed soon after for the pecker to have casual access like that.

Plus it's much harder to start a new hole than widen one even if the woodpecker is even intelligent enough that making a hole in the side of the box will lead to the same nest, it's obvious to us but maybe not a woodpecker

Birdboxes may as well have a "Diner" of "cafe" neon sign on the front. Birds nesting in them should at least have some safety, as far as they know, its pretty safe and sturdy, knowing not of the wood structure sometimes being rather weak in itself, they put trust in relative safety, to be let down, and yes, if.. Woodpeckers find a natural nest hole with inhabitants, they can get into them, but taking a lot longer, and way more chances of parent birds coming back and driving woodpecker away..

    Once watched several squirrels mess with a blue jay nest...they were after the eggs. Jays were squawking all kinds of noise, tried running off the squirrels. Then they left and I thought they had given up. Within a minute, they came back with 3 big crows. I watched those 2 jays sit on the fence while those crows swooshed up into that tree. Leaves and branches everywhere, 3 squirrels come hauling ass out of the tree with those cawing crows right up their tails. Those crows tormented those squirrels for an hour, chasing them up and down trees, back and forth across the yards, facinating.

    This shows that if you put up nest boxes for Eurasian Blue Tits or other smaller species in that area, you need to install metal plating to prevent predators from enlarging the entrance hole.
    It is certainly natural for woodpeckers to prey on nests. But boxes that attract birds to nest in them create an unnatural •situation• of vulnerability to such predation, because they are easier for predators to find than are natural nest cavities, and it’s easier for predators to enlarge the entrance of a box (compared to one in a tree trunk) to get to eggs or nestlings.
    So if you set up nest boxes, you should be conscientious about taking steps to mitigate the ways in which they may render the birds who use them unusually vulnerable to predation.

      depends on the species of Woodpecker. Some smaller ones are more into bugs, but larger ones will eat smaller birds.

    I never knew woodpeckers were like this. It’s unfortunate that they can’t be nice neighbors.
