Two Mockers, one feeder (Mimus polyglottos)

From February 22nd, after our snowstorm of February 21st. I intended to post this one last month, but couldn't find the photo until today! This is the pair of Mockingbirds who has been guarding -- or at least attempting to guard -- all the feeders for the past few months. Nice to see them eating harmoniously at the same feeder. The other day while they were doing so, the male pecked the female away! Not nice!

Excellent double capture of these two mockingbirds sharing one feeder. Fantastic Adele!!!
 
Thanks so much, Stanley, Rookery, and Oppie. We have had an extremely cold winter, but thankfully not as much snow as last year.
