Melanerpes aurifrons
It was first thing in the morning and the sun hadn't come up yet, but I had never seen a woodpecker sitting on a telephone wire so I had to take a few photos. Gray belly with a black and white striped back. Orange patch on the back of the head, red patch on top, and gold patch at the base of the bill.
In the open field near our bunkhouses, surrounded by thorn scrub habitat.
