Take 2 #video #photography on this #vibrant, chilly and windy morning in #Tucson.
I am so very #grateful for the birds that love our yard. They keep me grounded.

The #GilaWoodpecker is a familiar sight in Southern #Arizona, but even though I spotted it often, I never quite got that perfect shot of this desert dweller. Still, these photos are ones I can live with.

A Gila woodpecker working on its nest in a saguaro cactus.
These cavities often become homes for other birds once they’re abandoned.

"Our" silly female #GilaWoodpecker thinks she's a #Hummingbird!
It cracks me up EVERY time she or her partner do this! 🤣
I just hope they don't eventually crack the lid of the feeder.

A #GilaWoodpecker! The last bird I photographed during my time in Arizona was helpful enough to stick around to ensure I had some clear Gila Woodpecker species photos for my records.
