Yard Birds: Secane, Pennsylvania

Finally posting a few weeks after the fact:  pictures of a Red-bellied Woodpecker pair and a Blue Jay. The female woodpecker is a frequent visitor to our feeder; the male shows up only a little less often. Both frequently fly to the same spot on a nearby Japanese Maple where they unpackage the sunflower seed (note the torn bark) before returning to the cafeteria for seconds.  Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers sometimes use the same staging/feeding spot. The Blue Jay is one of several who show up now and then for a quick bite.
