Woodpecker Photos

We expect woodpeckers to be in the woods, so it may seem surprising that some are conspicuous in the desert. But for Gila Woodpeckers and Gilded Flickers, saguaros serve in place of trees: these woodpeckers go hitching their way up the sides of the giant cactus, and give voice to strident calls when they reach the top. The holes that they excavate for nesting sites which may riddle the arms of some ancient saguaros remain to serve as natural birdhouses for a variety of other birds. Please use this link to the original author/content owner: Arizona Sonora Desert Museum
