Gila Woodpecker!

I finally got some great photos (and footage!)

of the Gila (pronounced "HEE-la") Woodpecker who's been hanging out around our house!

I feel as if I won an award or captured a rampaging beast.

I deserve a medal because this guy has been very shy.

His long nose pokes right in those blossoms!

Here's the amazing video footage!

I love him and I'm thrilled to have a backyard that attracts such beautiful creatures!
