We're in the Kalifornia desert, and a couple of months ago I noticed woodpeckers peckerizing the oranges in one of my trees; they'd put little holes in the oranges and ruin the fruit.

I nailed the redheaded male about six weeks ago with my BB gun, and finally got the hen in mid-May......hoping this was a freak "occupation", because I value my citrus more than Woody and Mrs. Woody.

PS - in our years here, this was the very first time woodpeckers had ventured into your yard from the higher elevations.....had never seen one around here before.
