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!

With their strong beaks and relentless determination, they carve intricate holes into the sturdy Saguaro cacti to create cozy nests for themselves.
