"The Kiss"

Warrenton, Virginia

And you thought that romance was dead. Actually, he's passing a shelled sunflower seed to the 'Lady' - part of their mating ritual.
Not much detail close up, but an interesting Spring visual.
I've witnessed this 'passing of the seed' in several species of birds.
Best viewed in 'original' size.
