last week I submitted five photos of Woodpeckers photographed in Arizona. Here are five more woodpeckers photographed in Arizona.
Acorn Woodpecker
Hairy Woodpecker
Northern Flicker. "Flickers are members of the woodpecker family. They are named for the brilliant yellow or red undersides of their wings and tails that cause the birds to resemble flickering flames when they fly. "
Gilded flicker is the flicker of the Saguaro Cactus forest (Sonoran Desert)
Female William's Sapsucker. "As their name implies, sapsuckers feed primarily on the sap of trees, moving among different tree and shrub species on a seasonal basis. Insects especially those attracted to the sap exuding from sap holes are also eaten.
