A female Gila Woodpecker is sitting on a copper hummingbird feeder holder.
Now she's trying to get her big beak into the small hole of the red top of the hummingbird feeder.
"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.
#Gilawoodpecker (Melanerpes uropygialis) is a medium-sized woodpecker of the desert regions of the southwestern United States and western Mexico. In the U.S., they range through southeastern California, southern Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico.
Gorgeous male #gilawoodpecker enjoying (sort of -it’s a balancing act) hummingbird sugar water

The photographer @drbrianpet.bsky.social lens aperture brings the clarity for a awesome capture of this #gilawoodpecker! #woodpeckerspotofred #southwestbird #arizonawildlife

Woodpecker perched on a saguaro bloom sticking its tongue out.
Saguaros are beak-licking good, if you're a woodpecker. #BirdPhotography #photography #GilaWoodpecker
A stripe-backed, tan woodpecker with a bold red patch atop its head pauses on a bare wooden post to look back at the camera.
