She shows up all the time.  
She's a Golden-fronted Woodpecker.

Image
This one is the female.  The male has a little red cap on his head.
The whole family shows up.  Momma, Daddy, and Baby.  They all have a sweet tooth.

They're big, and they're noisy.  And, a bit clumsy.  You don't want to have a feeder close to a window....

Image
They come to all the feeders.

And, the hummers don't like it.

Image
The hummers dive bomb the woodpeckers.  But, it doesn't faze them.
They just keep on sippin'.

We seldom see any other types of Woodpeckers.  Occasionally, we see a Hairy Woodpecker.
But, they're fast, and I'm not.  So, no pictures of those.

The heat goes on here.  Keeping water and food out for the 'livestock' is just one of the daily chores.

Fall will come, right?  Let's hope soon.

Pray for rain...

Happy Gardening...
