Woodpecker Fest

A jackfruit tree canopy frames the kitchen window of my Miramar apartment. Loaded with fruit during the summer months; it attracts squirrels and different birds through the daytime.

Lesser flameback woodpecker

The lesser flameback woodpecker, a shy visitor frequents the canopy; eating ripe fruit, as well as flies and maggots that infest it. These visits are concluded with a loud cackle. The bird apparently announcing that it has eaten it's fill and will return to the feast on another occasion.

Raiding the food store

Waiting for more species to join this feast.
