Greetings, This morning we were treated with a pair of pileated woodpeckers in the front yard doing a mysterious dance up and down the bottom portion of a maple tree. They continued this "dance" for about 10 minutes before they took off out of sight. Interesting, they gave no indication that they were feeding as they spiraled up and down the trunk !
