Cactus Monday - Gila Woodpecker
Goodmorning Cacuteers. I couldn't decide whether to post this picture on Cactus Monday or Animal Wednesday. Well, Cactus Monday won because I have a difficult time thinking of Cactus picutres. This Gila Woodpecker lives in the desert and makes its nests in saguaro cactus. Several other birds reuse their nests.

I have the hardest time coming up with cactus ideas too! Some of the members make it look so easy and beautiful. This is a really nice drawing! Love the close-up of the bird with just a hint of the cactus.
HCM!!
this is wonderful and can be reposted on wednesday too,ha ha, hcm fellow cactuteer.
Very nice colors, I'm glad you added the bird to the Cactus Monday illustration.
Good decision Lisa because this is one of the birds that makes the holes in my cactus today! Plus you and birds are a great pair.

This is a really beautiful drawing...the color just sings! Happy Cactus Monday Fellow Cacuteer! :)
That's wonderful, Lisa. I don't know how you do so much so well so often. You are amazing.
Dear Lisa,
I am studing Woodpeckers this year and just read about the Gila. I would love to see one.
I could use this watercolor for a guide it is so good. I bet your sketch book is a delight to behold. You have amazed a nice volume of work this past year.
I am so glad you picked up the brush and the pencil again.

This is just so colorful! Love it! There is something about these birds that make nests in cactus! So intreguing!
Happy Cactus Monday!
Wonderful!
We have a woodpecker in the garden (black/white and red) who eat the peanuts. They are little rare here so I´m always exited when I see them. This is lovely I don´t know this kind and the fact they built their nests in cacti.
Wonderfully painted as always
