Woodpecker sighting!!!

I've been hearing a woodpecker for a couple of days now, but never saw the little bugger.   He was way up in one of the neighbor's palm trees 2 days ago and yesterday I heard him out front drilling away on either our mesquite or sumac (I think it was the mesquite because he does like that one)...

I'm taking my camera out back every day now to documents and observe my sunflowers and soon-to-open hollyhocks.   Alas, I am now also documenting all the gopher holes in the back yard.   You would THINK with one old, senile outdoor cat we wouldn't have such a problem, but all "Mr. Gray" does is sleep on a nice cushion on the side porch during the afternoons and ignore the dog.   The dog, however, is VERY interested in all these new holes in his yard.

But, I digress...

So, I brought my camera in with me and I was getting ready to upload photos when I looked up yesterday afternoon and there was the woodpecker on one of my orange slices (the damn grosbeaks have...disappeared...)!!!!!   I grabbed it and took about 90 photos of him!   We had clouds moving overhead and I was using my telephoto lens, so they are a bit dark (I even lightened these...)

I wonder if he will return today?   I put out an extra suet cake and smeared peanut butter all over it, so hopefully he will return...
