Gila Woodpeckers are well known for nesting in saguaro cactuses, but did you know they also nest in large trees within riparian forests?
For #WoodpeckerWednesday, here's a Red-shafted Northern Flicker. This one is a male and was possibly excavating a nest cavity before it took a break and flew over to another tree. A female was nearby. #Nature #Photography #Birds #PNWBirding #Oregon #WillametteValley
Male Red-bellied Woodpecker with his red belly actually showing in this photo! You can see the late afternoon sun reflected in his pretty eye.

For #WoodpeckerWednesday here's a male downy woodpecker. Yes, downies are a rather common bird in many places, but I thought this pose with the shaggy-barked vine was nice. TIA If anyone can tell me what the tree or vine is. Algonkian Regional Park, Sterling, Virginia, USA 5-Mar-2025. #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

Sunlight gleams through the bright red crest of a Lineated Woodpecker, the tropical counterpart to the Pileated Woodpecker.
There is a lot of information on the interweb, but it is difficult to answer my curiosity regarding how old a woodpecker has to be, for its physiology to be fully adapted to woodpecking without concussion. #woodpecker #WoodpeckerWednesday
It's #WoodpeckerWednesday and you can never go wrong with a Pileated Woodpecker. Check out that amazing red hairdo!
