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.
