Incredible morning here. Thunder in the early morning before daylight, but the rain moved north toward Joshua Tree but the clouds were just mind blowing.

It is. Our local desert is definitely one of my happy places.

Thank you. I am a huge fan of these birds. It’s great to see such a cooperative family group and they are incredibly aggressive towards steller’s & scrub jays and squirrels.

Fall bloom of beautiful yellow cinchweed around Borrego Springs and in Anza Borrego Desert State Park today thanks to lots of monsoonal summer rain. 90° harsh light but great to see. 🌿

When you see these birds, you never see just one - you see the family group and they are constantly vocalizing to each other and chasing off scrub & Steller’s Jays and squirrels.

Yes. And the whole family guards them against Jays and squirrels. Cooperative families.

Found 4 active acorn woodpecker granary trees in the mountains today en route to the desert. Group of eight birds very busy very vocal. These really are the coolest woodpeckers. So much fun to be around. 🪶
