They are so romantic…
it is better than a rare love story film.
They each peck at the feed for a moment or two,
then meet up in the middle to peck each other.
You say one is feeding the other,
but I see them each feed themselves.
Some say why feed them in the summer
when they can find their own food.
But then I would miss this kissing…
Woodpeckers falling in love.
Cheers and Hugs and Woodpecker Kisses,
Jodi

PS On my daily morning call with my Dad yesterday morning, I was telling him about how cute these woodpeckers are eating and “kissing.” As we were talking, a woodpecker flew by him on his porch. We were watching the woodpeckers at the same time in our homes an hour apart. He asked, “Why haven’t we seen a picture of it yet?” You see, he reads my blog every day, and we often talk about it. So here it is Dad! I ❤ You!
the creative life in between 
Great shot =)

awwww….that is simply and utterly charming. We have a nest of Northern Flickers — they went to town on a tree trunk next door to us, chips flying everywhere, pounding out a large enough cavity — and are now feeding their brood. Your photo is a delight, and so is the story!
