Sunny, But Chilly

Ladderback Woodpecker

I was surprised at how cool it was when we set off this morning, due, in part, to a stiff breeze that's bringing in our next cold front. We saw a few other outdoor enthusiasts--bikers and joggers--but only got close enough to one to say "Good morning."  Saw a busy Ladderback Woodpecker doing some serious hole-drilling in a Palo Verde Tree.  Do these guys ever have to take aspirin for headaches?
