Bird Feeder Romance
Birds
Where as some folks feed the birds in the winter only, we set the table for our friends in feathers all year round.  This summer we have been watching a pair of Hairy Woodpeckers that have been frequent visitors to our suet feeder.  We see this type of woodpecker in our area all year round. The curious activity is the feeding of the female by the male.  The male will land on the suet cake and break off a portion in it's bill and then fly over to the nearby waiting female and feed her. This activity is repeated over and over until she has enjoyed her fill and they both fly off. We see this activity repeated almost daily and are thinking that it is some type of courtship ritual. Whatever it is, it is cute to watch. We have only observed it with this type of bird.

But I digress, excuse me.
