Here are a couple Arizona sightings for this #featheredfriday
Here is a gila woodpecker looking ins some seed pods. I'm not sure if they eat them or eat the insects that might live in or around the pods.
The pods serve as a nice platform for them to scout out other insects.
It was a challenge trying to shoot between all the roughage to get good shots. Most of them ended up light this one. At least you can see its yellow underbelly feathers here.
I spotted a nest too. This one pecked a hole in a cottonwood tree.
I suspect maybe there was a baby in here but I couldn't get a shot of the little head poking out. Probably too young at this point.
Little green hummingbirds were flying around wherever new wildflowers were blooming.
This was about the clearest shot I got of one flying.
I tried sneaking around to get a face shot of this guy but it didn't work out. They take off too fast to fight with other hummingbirds.
You never know what bird might be peeking around the corner spying on you. This one might have been a drone keeping tabs on photographers.
That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
