2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Red-Naped Sapsucker, Santa Rita Mtns. , Green Valley, AZ, United States of America
Hungry Sapsucker

Species: Red-Naped Sapsucker | Location: Santa Rita Mtns. , Green Valley, AZ, United States of America

Hungry Red-Naped Sapsuckers ignored me and got quite close in persuit of some berries on a bush where I was standing. Their appetite was stronger than their fear of me which gave me excellent opportunities for photos.
