Downy woodpeckers courting

I watched this pair as they circled each other all around the tree limbs, then they settled down and the female opened her mouth. The male then made feeding motions. Afterwards, they flew off together.

I recently moved to Tennessee from the Mojave desert, so seeing woodpeckers, and any birds honestly, is such a treat.

This image was done in late 1980s on Polaroid's instant slide film Polapan - a prefect film for beauty and boudoir photography as skin tones were rendered silky.
