He'll-a Be Amonst The Wisps

Actually, I meant Gila, as in Gila woodpecker, but that's how you pronounce it.

It was grey and gloomy again this morning but by noon the sun had broken through.  I could have waited to take a blip during nicer weather, but  just look at him.  For the past three days he kept going back and forth during the mucky weather from his perch in the ocotillo to the hummingbird feeder.

I usually chase the woodpeckers away so that they don't mess it up, but this time I let him share it with Zippy.  I figured they both needed a source of nutrition.  I would want to be treated kindly and rewarded (blipped) for having had survived our worst winter storm to date.
