I see a number (including at least one pair) here in Tempe AZ. They will make nest holes in my Saguaro cactus, but are usually driven out by the local starlings who nest there.

These guys are constantly drilling on my chimney cover and chasing hummingbirds away from my feeders!

I see and hear them frequently, but have only seen one at the feeders.
