Woodpecker courtship

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.

This is what the sapsucker does!

    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.
