The golden-fronted woodpecker (Melanerpes aurifrons) is a species of bird in the woodpecker family, Picidae. It is found in the southern United States, Mexico and parts of Central America. It inhabits mesic and xeric landscapes, including mesquite brushlands and riparian woodlands. It can also be found in urban parks and suburban areas. Males and females have the same plumage except for the pattern on their heads. Adult males have a red crown and a golden orange to yellow nape with a gap between them; females have a grayish crown and a paler yellow nape. The golden-fronted woodpecker has a diet of adult and larval arthropods, some aerial insects, fruit, nuts and corn, as well as occasionally eating other birds' eggs. The bird has a loud call and a short, slow drumming pattern. This male golden-fronted woodpecker was photographed perching on a branch in Copán, Honduras.

Dude, that's Allie, not Ali! - Alison^☺ 16:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it was quite amusing, hope you're not growing dim! The amusing dude. Jumbos nemesis 17:09, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I hope so, too! - Alison^☺ 17:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was the wrong side of sterling today and lost 300_G's. Nothing to do but write poetry. Now, not many people have poetry written about them. It was meant well, so sorry if it didn't go down too well. It was, I assure you written in an amicable frame of mind. Any, be well. Jumbos nemesis 17:35, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I never said it didn't go down well. It was kinda amusing all right :) I could use a little joy amidst the dirty job that adminship is, so I appreciate your poetry! So there. - Alison^☺ 17:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC) (has a sense of humour, y'know)[reply]

here - have a flower :) - Alison^☺ 19:33, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh thanks Allie, that's very kind of you. I wrote that in 3 or 4 minutes flat, and hardly reviewed it. So here it is with typos and punct....

Now that Ali's in Admin!
Is she growing kind of dim?
Don't see her 'round the usual corners,
Perhaps she's under Jimbo's orders,
And even FLIP did disappear,
Has gone out east as a volunteer!
I heard that the queen has joined the Wiki,
Please don't block her as she gets quite sticky,
So on with the typos, and keep your nose clean,
Admin's no fun, see what I mean?

I'll have to get away from this computer, and get some sunshine. You're doing admirable at admin. Rock on! --Jumbos nemesis 02:59, 3 April 2007 (UTC)BTW, dim as in not seeing so much around the usual pages, not the other d. JN[reply]

There was a old dear on wiki,
Who regarded my edits as sicky,
So I sat down beside her,
Alongside some cider,
Now all of my edits are icky.

Bravo! - Alison^☺ 17:05, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt she's much of a poet, really. Probably in real life, she's very different than you imagine; a little boring, a little geeky, a little shy and probably from de rong soide of de river. But she has survived the unimaginable. Trust me sir, she's really not your type at all. Maybe - just maybe - she was touched by your love and humour & maybe - just maybe - she's been hurt a lot along the way through life. If only you knew. Whatever on that, I guess you must have made her laugh too (and maybe cry, too, ever so slightly). Who knows? But I think she'd probably want you to know that. - Dumbos nematodes 06:53, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

She'd probably want you to have a flower too, no doubt. She's funny that way - Dumbos nematodes 06:53, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
