Adjacent to the Dallas City Park is the Hunter Arboretum Botanic Garden. Because of its abundance of native plants, shrubs and trees, it is actually a more productive area to find birds than the busy Dallas City Park. The Arboretum is where I found and photographed this Acorn Woodpecker recently. Notice that it has an oak acorn in its bill. Fall is all about harvest time, for the birds as well as humans. The birds, particularly the woodpeckers and jays, are busy hiding away nuts to eat later this winter.
