Tough Toes!

I saw my first Ladder-backed Wookpecker in Huntington Beach Central Park. Maureen Sullivan, both an excellent birder and bird photographer, pointed him out to me a couple of weeks ago. Little did I realize that these Woodpeckers inhabit our desert spot in Anza Borrego Desert! Yesterday was the first time I had seen one there.
