These two woodpeckers were fighting and teasing each other. I think they were trying to claim the trees in our yard in order to impress lady woodpeckers. These are red-bellied woodpeckers according to the pictures in the Delaware Museum of Natural History woodpecker collection. (Cornell lab link with sounds!)
Incidentally taken with my new Panasonic DMC-ZS20 camera. it is a point and shoot with a really good 20X optical zoom Leica lens. They were very high up the tree in the back by Shellpot Creek. I am pleased with my new camera!
