Golden-fronted Woodpeckers are exceedingly common here, both in the city and in the countryside. ” (Yes, that was a shameless plug!).

Historically, Mountain Bluebirds nested in tree cavities created by woodpeckers, but now more commonly choose artificial nest boxes. They let schoolchildren vote too, which must have been a fun class exercise!
