Golden-fronted Woodpecker near Bentsen State Park, Texas Available in M, S:Small 576x720 @72dpiI am a huge fan of this colorful woodpecker. We were so surprised to find that he enjoyed oranges and grapefruit stuck on twigs in our RV yard. Save 20% by purchasing entire collection.

This plantcutter was in great light showing off his many colors and the important Patagonian Calafate Bush

This bird reminded me of our US Juncos

Plantcutters have the most bizarre song you can imagine

There are wonderful bright flowers on cactuses and other desert plants in Texas

At least it's camouflaged

yet altitudes not over about 5

I am often too shy to photograph people

In this shot we get a great profile and a look at the white nape of his neck

with just the tiniest hole for a slender beak

I saw him as I drove by one early evening

Sanderlings are known for running away from waves at the beach

it's amazing how often I walk blindly by a bird and find it ONLY after I sit down and stop moving
