Sometimes you hear them
Their humming sound makes us look
Making eye contact.

This Gila Woodpecker Thinks He’s A Hummingbird — Image by kenne
Gila woodpeckers have been coming to the hummingbird feeder for several weeks now, and when I see him, I frighten him away.
This morning I decided to get a photo. This is because woodpeckers are so adept at holding on to most anything.
They can do this because of two front and two back toes (zygodactyl toes). This clever foot formation,
which can look like an X or a K, allows birds to grip things more efficiently. Add the fact that the tongues of woodpeckers
can extend as much as 2 inches past the tips of their bills, and they like sweet things, such as fruit.
Conclusion: this feeder is as much a woodpecker feeder as a hummingbird feeder.
