It was very cold overnight, just below minus fourteen in our neighbourhood, and first thing this morning the flickers got frisky with one another.

They were doing this dance for ten minutes while I watched and took pictures from the window. Eventually they disappeared.

And later the female came back for peanuts.

Great animal picture, I wonder what kind of birds they are.

Volker, thanks. They are Northern flickers, a North American woodpecker. The male has a black "moustache" which the female lacks.

That male looks as if he'd giving all he's got. It seems a bit too early and too cold to start mating behaviour.

Maybe they are fooled by warm weather. We've had a couple of days of well-over-ten-degree weather (like in the fifties and low sixties F).
