His and Hers

The woodpecker activity has greatly increased at our feeders over the last several weeks, from all 3 of our resident species -

Downy:

Hairy:

and Red-bellied:

I expect to see LOTS of baby woodpeckers this summer!


We have 2 suet cages that really didn't see much action over the winter, but I've been refilling them quite a bit through the month of March. Today I caught Mr. and Mrs. Downy Woodpecker dining side by side...

His...

and Hers.
