~ Gila Woodpecker Feeding Chicks ~

The Gila Woodpecker was feeding her little ones, and I was set up and taking photos.  She must not have liked it that I was taking pics of her rump as she disappeared into the "saguaro boot" because the very next thing she did was to yell at me!

No mother with little one wants a photo of their backside published on the web for anyone to see.  Great shot.

I guess I knew that, but now it's too late...  LOL

You'll have to plan a visit!

Thanks for the "suggest."  Looks like it worked.

Maybe she thought you were using a wide-angle lens, lol! Great pictures, I used to live in Tucson many moons ago and I totally enjoyed the brief visit through your post.

Interesting Mike.  My local woodpecker - the one who is my alarm clock each morning pecking away on the tin chimney caps, is shy.  Maybe she doesn't have any chicks to protect.

How you would you like it? Women never like that kind of pic, especially when they are busy. Glad you had your camera ready.

Birds can get cranky when you get too close to their chicks!

We had one in the bird house by the garden last year who deeply resented my presence in the garden. She never actually hit me, but she dive bombed my head on several occasions.

Great photo.  I agree - few females want the rear end to be the focus of a photo.

I've never seen anything like that; we don't have large Cacti like that here.  Cute post and photos.

Ed,

Funny!

We're only a 12 hour drive away.  Come on down and visit!

Kathy,

See?  You understand.  :)

Marilyn,

You're welcome!

Karen,

Thanks for stopping by to comment.

Marte,

Were you wearing a hat?

Jerry,

You're welcome!  Thanks for stopping to comment.

Lyn,

You've got a point!

Robert,

I'm glad to oblige!

Kerissa,

That she is!  Yelling, I mean...

Juli,

I wonder why they beat against the aluminum caps and make such a racket?  They do that in our neighborhood too.
