Thursday's Bird Watch !


This week's bird photo comes from Amity City Park.  Jeanette and I explored this park last week for our first time and were rewarded with this Acorn Woodpecker storing an oak tree acorn into a hole in a tall Douglas Fir tree.  Notice all the other nuts in other holes. This is known as a "granary".  Acorn Woodpeckers live in a colony and work collectively at storing acorns in a granary tree.  Supposedly they always leave one member to guard their collection.
