Gila Woodpecker, Melanerpes aurifrons
Gila Woodpecker, male, 1/6/05, La Paz, Baja Sur, Mexico
This male could be heard all day long around our hotel on the Malecon in La Paz, during our stay there in January 2005.

Gila Woodpecker, female, 11/28/02, Ventana Canyon Resort, Tucson AZ
This old digiscope shows a female Gila's Saguaro doorway right across from our hotel balcony in Ventana Canyon, a delightful perk on a Thanksgiving trip to Tucson in 2002. Below, a non-avian bonus view, from the same balcony - that same Saguaro at dawn.
