...and since I forgot to identify them, I'll do it now.
A Cardinal is on top of the feeder roof (on this side of the barn), and the Red-bellied woodpecker is inside. I don't know if the two species ever shared being inside together or not. I took my shot and then left them alone. ;D

Oh what a beautiful capture and how cute. A romance about to happen? ;)

@Othersideblue: I doubt a romance as they're different species! ;D
Maria from California, United States
such cute capture Judy...it seems you have lots of fun with your wildlife around you...and your camera, of course! :)

@Maria: We love watching the happenings outside, and Mike is diligent about keeping food in the feeder for them.

The one inside is marvellous! What a coat of feathers and red head! What's this? Romance? Looking for a nest before the marriage ceremony?

@Japanalia: Yes, that Red-bellied woodpecker is striking. I don't think romance because other bird is a Cardinal. ;D
Eric Cousineau from Sherwood Park, Canada
Too cute Judy! I guess he is just making his feeling known that the woodpecker is hogging the food line! ;-)

@Eric Cousineau: I think you're right! ;D

What a colourful visitor !! A bird table brings lots of different birds into the garden.

@Anthony Morgan Lambert: Yes, they, like we, enjoy eating! ;D
Rick from Toronto, Canada
These tree peckers are here in abundance and I am always challenged to get close enough (in the recreational parts of the city where I see them) for a decent shot... this is great, and funny.

@Rick: We see more here than we ever did in CT, but then the area is pretty wide open so they can see any predator, hawk, buzzard, or cat.
Bron from Canberra, Australia
Wonderful birds - you're so fortunate to have them visit!

@Bron: Thank you so much ... but your image today is truly a winner!

Oh what a sweet domestic catch! Sharp feather designs on these little birds.

@Joyce: Not the highest caliber, but fun to see in the side yard! ;D
Don from Spokane, United States
A nice shot of these birds who appear to be somewhat friendly with each other.

@Don: Thank you, Don ... fun to have in our yard.
@Mhelene: Thanks so much.
