Red-bellied Woodpecker in Hot Pursuit

I shared a post of a male Pileated Woodpecker in hot pursuit of a female a few weeks ago.
The Red-bellied Woodpeckers are playing the same games!

Everywhere the female flew and landed, her suitor was quick to follow.

The female allowed the male to catch her, and he was quick to impress by flaring his crest feathers.
