Gila Woodpecker - A Bird Day

Today we are enjoying cooler weather and rain.  Our bird friends are also enjoying it, especially the male Gila Woodpecker.
 
As usual in the animal kingdom, the male is prettier than the female and this guy sports a bright red cap.  I just love the overall look of this bird!

The back yard is full with a variety of morning doves, sparrows, finches, towhee's, quails, grackles and humming birds.  But I couldn't seem to take my eyes off of Woody, neither could the little ones waiting for their turn at the food block.

I'm guessing that the little ones finally told Woody to quit being a hog and move on.

"I thought he would NEVER leave!"

Hope everyone is enjoying their day!

Peace, Rocki

We have 3 varieties of woodies at mine and my fav is the Downey. Our feeders are outside our front patio door (we have two in the living room). I often get scolded by the kids because a flutter catches my eye and I am paying attention to the birds when the kids are talking..LOL..
