Female Red-bellied Woodpecker
No doubt where the "red belly" in their name comes from
The female has drilled about 80% of the time
The nest hole is almost complete

American Oystercatcher
Nesting adults will add broken shells or pebbles to the nests in order to disguise the speckled eggs.
Two races of American Oystercatcher breed in North America: the eastern race along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, and a second race along the Pacific coast from northwestern Baja CA southward.
North of NW Baja CA, the Black Oystercatcher takes over
