Before going into the private life
OF the Gila Woodpecker, you will
be interested to know that wood
peckers are found in all wooded
parts Of the world with the excep-
ton Of the island of Madagascar
and in the whole Australian region.
Woodpeckers are nearly equally
represented in the two hemispheres.
In the Western Hemisphere there
are % families and 225 species and
subspecies, while the Eastern Hemi-
sphere claims 27 families and slight
" more than 200 species and sub
species.
In the United States, exclusive
OF outlying possessions, we have now
some Is species and Subspecies OF
this family, nearly all of which
have economic Importance. This is
what we are interested in at the
present - just how our outdoor
neighbors are fitting into our eco
nomic plan for future peace.
Woodpeckers are not as travel
minded as many other, birds. Most
Of them remain in their chosen ter
fitory whole lifetime. This adds
greatly to their value to farmers
and orchardists. Their food con-
sists mainly in wood-boring grubs,
hibernating insects, insect eggs and
pupae. These industrious hunters,
even In winter. are capable of find
ing an abundance Of our insect foes.
The gila woodpecker usually
chooses the stem of the giant cactus
as . home-site. From the Colorado
valley in Southeastern California
and the extreme southeastern cor
ner Of Nevada, east through South
ern Arizona and Southwestern New
Mexico, south through Lower Cali
fornia and Western Mexico, this in
sect hunter Is successful in finding
all food and building sites necessary
TO his complete happiness.
It would seem the gila, though
q member in good standing Of the
woodpecker tribe, had selected his
range in a country where little
wood Is grown and therefore had
used the cactus as the best substi-
tute available. Is the gila a trif1e
lazy that he sought such easy fiber,
or is 1t because some remote ances-
tor followed the family instinct
cleverly adapting himself to native
conditions and made a great Sue
cess Of it?
This worker in cactus fiber is
unable to keep his plumage in spic
and span condition as 1t becomes
rather daubed with sap. The car
penter is too busy to take notice
of this, since the all important need
is to cut the pith away to the desired
depth and carve out for himself
chamber of ample dimensions. At
the entrance of the apartment the
flowing sap soon hardens and the
hallway to the one-room domicile
becomes dry and smooth as though
carved from solid wood.
If the mother constructs the
dwelling, the uses her home as q
nursery where she lays from three
or five white eggs.

Gila Woodpecker
Centurus uropygialis

The gila and his mate each are
about 8 inches long. They are clad
in black and white, but the father
has a most bewitching patch Of bril-
liant scarlet on his crown.
These woodpeckers are very fond
of ants and have habits much like

those of their cousins the ant-eating
species. but with this very important
exception-they are not food hoard
ers. Sufficient for the day" is their
motto, and they are quite fond of
mistletoe and other berries which
brighten the monotony of their
meat diet.
