Dryocopus pileatus pair

My first post mentions giant woodpeckers, and here's a link to my video of this odd pair, taken the last day of spring: side-shot from the driveway.

Right in the front yard, these large birds took practically no attention to us as they were absorbed in some sort of dance ritual, bobbing and looking at eachother, hopping and pecking in coordination ... video ends as mosquitos attack in full force.

Enjoy: on the ground dancing, and where we saw them first, in the tree: more dancing around the tree
