"Desayuno en el Jardin" La Taler de Papel Artesanal
The Cuban Tree Frog, Osteopilus septentrionalis, is native to Cuba and is an invasive exotic pest in Florida, where it eats the native tree frogs, along with anything else it can swallow. It is now common in Gainesville.
The Cuban Green Woodpecker is called "La Carpintero" by the locals. This one has been busy riddling this Palm Tree with holes. Often seen in pairs, their Green Olive back, checkered sides, yellow front, white head with a red crest and throat make them an eye catching standout.
I read that the Cuban Green Woodpecker is the most common and widespread woodpecker on the island which I find surprising because this is the only one I remember seeing during our visit and we saw lots of West Indian Woodpeckers. Thankfully this one hung around long enough for us to get some decent photos. Of course, this could be the case of us not seeing another one because we weren’t looking for it very hard after we saw this one. It’s definitely a cool little bird and I would love to see one again someday.
