Cactus Fruit

Seems to be an aphrodisiac to Woodpeckers.
Yes this is a red necked woodpecker which you can't see
because of the angle.
 He sat on the "fruit" and pecked.
 It was evidently worth it and delicious!
 Must've had a sweet tooth going on.
 Totally relentless in his pursuit of the "fruit."
What I missed was - he was so excited to get this piece of fruit.
He pecked at it til it fell to the ground.
You have to use your imagination because alas I missed the shot.
My bad.
It was really really funny. 
Puzzled and shocked doesn't cover it!
