Golden-Tailed Woodpecker - Nature's Carpenter
A Golden-tailed Woodpecker female (the male has a short red streak from beak to under the eye) poses with her nest carved out of a wild Weeping Wallow tree. Needless to say, the colors are striking and rather well camouflaged. It is not easy to distinguish between species, but in this case I was fortunate for the perfect pose where one an see the face clearly.
The golden-tailed woodpecker is a species of bird in the Picidae family.
It is found in Angola, Benin, Botswana, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, South Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
