Bill and Betty Ebert had this story play out at their feeder in Leesburg this week.  I thought it would be fun to share it with you here. You can click on the photos to see them larger:

The Red-bellied Woodpecker had already staked claim to the feeder area but a Starling decided to give it a go anyway…. “Hey! Get away from my seeds!” (the Red-bellied seemed to say) Ultimately, the Red-Bellied Woodpecker was victorious.
