These two pileated woodpeckers stopped by the yard today. While here they attempted to serenade us with a song. While not noted for their singing ability they can certainly hammer out a tune. Judging from their behavior during their visit as I witnessed one feeding the other. I assume one is an adult and the other a juvenile, or else the bugger is just too lazy to feed himself or is getting over a beak injury.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

Oh my this is one woodpecker that can be illusive, and to see two of them is really unusual, very good my friend. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Lovely story, no doubt. Regardless of the actual causes, if one feeds the other, it is so moving...

How much wood would a woodpecker peck if a woodpecker could peck wood. Oops, they can. So what's the answer Wendell?
Great capture.

Great catch, Wendell! Lucky you to be serenaded and by two. They certainly can sing.

Whoa, Splendid shot with 2, I see one is a male was the other one a female. We have these in our area and I agree they sure are noisy and can hammer.
