Strange Bedfellows

Usually other birds will fly off when the red bellied woodpecker lands (guess his size intimidates them) but not Mrs. Cardinal. Held her own.

Great shot of this interaction! Neat how the woodpecker has his tail held in the propped position as it would on the trunk of a tree.

Beautiful bird, so different from our woodpecker, although it holds it's tail in the same manner for balance. Lovely shot of the show down between the two birds.

Cool shot! We have a woodpecker feeding on our bird feeder, also. The other birds flew away at first, but now they just let him have his space. He often hangs up side down.

Woodpeckers can be a bit comical. Terrific capture.
