AZ/Wood

Seems like world-famous Madera Canyon (outside Green Valley, AZ) is the most reliable place for seeing beautiful Arizona Woodpecker, which was certainly the case Friday morning. Not only a female at the ‘feeding station’ at Santa Rita Lodge, but a male at the upper end of the nature trail.

Very nice shot of the female in flight:

Fun fact: this is North America’s only brown/white woodpecker!


Coming up soon: upside down birds! And more hummers!
