They are amazing. I am assuming this is a courtship dance, even though I cannot see a red head on the one. JB's seen them do this dance on the lawn.

Do you remember the yellow-bellied sapsucker on the satellite dish? The males tap on the metal to attract a female. That was a funny video. Well, I came across him, again, down in the forest.

Always a privilege to watch nature's intimacy! YAM xx
That is quite the courtship. It must be spring!
Well now that is different!
I was watching a woodpecker, I think of the pileated variety, at work at Rideau Hall yesterday.
I've seen this dance . It's absolutely fascinating.
OK! You got a visit from Woody Woodpecker's family... :)
Interesting dance. Takes two to tango. - Margy
