While we were sitting down to munch on our lunch at the Moreno Glacier we had the surprising visit of 2 woodpeckers, unfortunately moving too fast for me to get out the camera and take a photo..
The head of the woodpecker was an amazingly bright red colour, we both always thought that the cartoons kind of exagerated that feature, but having now seen one in the wild, maybe not...
But for your pleasure (and as proof of this experience) to the left you should see a photo of the damage a woodpecker made to one of the tall trees. I assume it was hunting for grubs/bugs, though I always wondered, how does it know where to peck?
