Very interesting capture Tom. I didn't know they fed on nectar.

Hi Ken...

Thanks for the comments. The Gila Woodpeckers love nectar, and the aloe vera blossoms are favorites for them. They will also drain a hummingbird feeder in record time.

Love finding them in the natural woods, as opposed to a residential yard

I surely do agree with you on that, Jimmy.

Many thanks Mike. Your generous comments are a real encouragement.

I was on the phone at the time and a number of them along with a few Thornbills turned up and I grabbed my camera and proceeded one handed. Was surprised how they turned out

Another beautiful tack sharp shot, Richard. You always have such interesting perches. This one is so cool the way it comes to the bird from being blurry to sharp.

Nice capture of this black-necked stilt, Mark! I like how you left room for his image reflection in the lower half of this photo.

Very nicely captured, John! They can surely be frustrating at times. They do not like to pose for the camera.:lol:
