Nature's Busybody - The Gila Woodpecker - A Jack of All Trades!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we catch a glimpse of the industrious Gila Woodpecker in action. Known as the "busybodies" of the Sonoran Desert, these feathered friends are true multitaskers! Feeding on nectar and insects nestled within the vibrant Saguaro cactus blossom, they inadvertently become nature's very own pollinators.
