  • A male Downy Woodpecker and a Mourning Dove both visit the Hand of Snacks! I rarely get a Mourning Dove. The Downy seemed a little unsure at first about sharing but the Dove didn’t seem interested in leaving. Plenty of snacks for all! Video switches to real time after the Downy takes off.

    The Downy looks so offended that the Mourning Dove landed on *his* hand, LOL!

      Yes! 😂😂. He just kind of watches in disbelief as the dove eats.

    As a person with PTSD, I have found therapy in wildlife photography (stills only) but this is another level completely for when the weather keeps me at home... thank you again!

    Ha ha, I just love the way that woodpecker looks when the dove flies in, it watches every morsel of food it takes, " here, it's had 3 peanuts now, blessed cheek" !

  • @kroakie4
    @kroakie4 Год назад +9

    Poor downy looks so shocked every time that dove reaches for another morsel. He’s waiting to be eat and the dove doesn’t like sharing. He’s like 🥺😱

    Oh gosh. Birds are so beautiful. I love them and the little woodpecker is so hilarious in this video. The looks from him/her to a totally uninterested dove is like a little cartoon story. I've never seen a Woodpecker or a mourning dove. In UK I often hear woodpeckers but they aren't easily seen.

    The Downy woodpecker is like: "Can't you see I'm a woodpecker? Get off here!!" It seems that only a bigger woodpecker would be more important in the bird hierarchy at the time of feeding))

    I'm not fond of Mourning Doves, they are vacuum cleaners with wings. All the other birds take a peanut and fly off, the doves just suck up every seed within three minutes! But I just loved the Downie's reaction when the dove gobbled up that first peanut and went for more. 😄😄😄😄
