Got up early this morning and headed to the oasis to start watering. For days I'd been hearing a Golden-fronted Woodpecker and was frustrated I couldn't locate it. Today while watering, with camera hanging on my shoulder, I got lucky. For one minute it landed in a nearby Netleaf Hackberry tree and gobbled up berries.
I have one Chinkapin Oak tree that has never had acorns on it so I figured it was a male tree. The bears have left it alone. Well, it's loaded with acorns this year. I hope the bears don't destroy it too bad. Maybe the Golden-fronted Woodpecker will beat the bears to the acorns. That would be lovely.
