In several places at the hotel, we heard the tap tap tapping of a woodpecker. Invariably, the bird making the noise was the Hoffman's. I could tell as I looked at it from my binoculars that it had a colorful nape and crown...but it was not until I sat and watched one working a ficus tree that I saw just how colorful it was.
Orange nape, red crown, yellow lores....it was actually a mess of colors.
After taking several photos, I could see that whatever it found in the tree, it was sticking red to its beak...just adding to the colors.
