GOLDEN BACK WOODPECKER VISITING FLOWERS OF ERYTHRINA SPECIES. : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1)

I recorded few images of Golden back woodpecker visiting flowers of Erythrina species. I thought Woodpeckers don't visit flowers. But in last few days I saw this incident twice on the same tree. I am not sure whether the bird was the same. Attaching a collage of the incident. Probably the bird has developed taste for nectar.
