Gila Woodpecker Photos

Gila Woodpeckers are a species of the desert Southwest, not found in South Dakota. It's kind of cool though to see a species so similar to our Red-bellied Woodpecker, but in a Saguaro Cactus setting. I was fortunate enough on one trip to Arizona to have the Saguaros blooming profusely, and seeing these guys feast on the flowers and nectar.
