I photographed this Gila Woodpecker on the grounds of the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum on a trip with my son last year. Fantastic place to visit, especially when they are doing the raptor free flight show. The male Gila woodpecker is a beautiful bird, and this one was no exception. Eye contact could have been better, but I thought there was enough to make the shot.
