Cacti Cactus Flicker Flickers Hole Holes Home At Nest
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

Home Sweet Cactus - Where Birds and Ants Unite!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by John Cancalosi, we witness a remarkable scene straight out of the Sonoran Desert in Arizona. Meet CAN-3229, a dazzling female Gilded Flicker perched proudly at her nest nestled within a majestic Saguaro Cactus. These woodpeckers are true desert divas, claiming permanent residency in all types of arid habitats. But what sets them apart is their unique talent for creating cozy abodes in saguaro cacti that later become sought-after real estate for other bird species. Don't be fooled by her lack of a red moustachial stripe; this fierce female flicker means business! Spending ample time on the ground, she fearlessly hunts down ants like no other feathered friend around. Talk about multitasking! As we marvel at this extraordinary avian architect's handiwork, it's impossible not to appreciate the intricate relationship between these birds and their prickly landlords. It's truly an example of nature's harmonious collaboration. So next time you stumble upon a saguaro cactus while exploring the United States' stunning North American landscapes, take a moment to imagine the secret lives unfolding within those hollowed-out homes. And remember - even in the wild world of wildlife photography, there's always room for some fun facts about our fascinating feathered friends!
