Somewhere in the Sonoran Desert
These large doves inhabit both in urban and natural Sonoran Desert habitats in the Arizona Desert. In the cities their most frequent food is the developing seeds of bermuda grass. They are joined on lawns going to seed by Rock Doves, Inca Doves and Mourning Doves. In upland Sonoran Desert they feed on fruit of saguaro as well as a variety of other seeds and fruit.
By the beginning of September most white-wings migrate away from the Sonoran Desert leaving their smaller
A small woodpecker of arid country. Because of its size, it is able to make a living even in scrubby growth along dry washes (other desert woodpeckers, like Gila Woodpecker and Gilded Flicker, require giant cactus or larger trees for nest sites). Closely related to Nuttall's Woodpecker of the Pacific Coast; their ranges meet in California foothills, and they sometimes interbreed there.
