Photo of the Day



I found a woodpecker condo in a dead palm tree not far from my house. There's a couple with one apartment for living quarters, and two more wholes for food storage. They come and go filling it with berries, nuts and occasionally bringing grubs (I suppose there may be chicks inside which I have not seen). This is the male.

    If I'm not mistaken, that looks like a red bellied woodpecker.
