The woodpecker that I notice most often in Central Arizona is the Gila Woodpecker. You can always tell when they're around because of the frequent squeaking noises they make. They will peck at anything searching for bugs, and it's always amusing to hear their rat-a-tat-tat on a satellite dish. I found this one at sunset, when it suddenly arrived to eat berries from a tree in the parking lot at the Page Springs Fish Hatchery, which is in the Lower Oak Creek Important Bird Area. This image made it to the semi-finals of the London Natural History Museum's Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.
