Acorns

While on a walk around Lake Gregory I spotted a pair of Acorn Woodpeckers. 
One was busy hammering acorns in the holes that they had made in the thick bark of a Ponderosa Pine.  I think the other one was looking for bugs on the tree, or perhaps it was a youngster being shown how to store food.
I wonder if they ever get headaches?  Poor birds, I hope not!

  5. Wow Victoria these two are gorgeous...their colors make me think of our "Woody" Woodpeckers that reside in our woods. Fun to see those acorns planted in the tree. Hope you are having a great day. Hugs!
