Who needs a gym when you can get your daily workout by hanging on for dear life? This Northern Flicker female from the beautiful Zapata Peninsula in Cuba knows how to stay fit while looking fabulous! Clinging effortlessly to a dead branch, she shows off her impressive strength and balance. With her vibrant plumage and striking markings, this tropical beauty is the epitome of Caribbean charm. She's like a ray of sunshine against the lush green backdrop of Matanzas Province. It's no wonder that bird enthusiasts flock to see this West Indian subspecies in action. As an ambassador for North American woodpeckers, she proudly represents her species with grace and elegance. Her presence adds a touch of magic to the Neotropics, reminding us why these islands are so special. In this snapshot captured by FLPA photographer Neil Bowman, we witness nature at its finest – untouched and untamed.
