    Acorn woodpecker on a tree Snag

    Took a few pictures of this acorn woodpecker on a dead tree snag--and in this photo, if you look closely, you will see the woodpecker has a tasty morsel in its beak. Also, what's cool is, you can observe the classic woodpecker balancing act - the feet are up high, nearly level with the beak -...

    Hard not to think of clowns when I meet Acorn Woodies. It's not just the "face paint". It's also the "clown-car horn beeps" of their calls (https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Acorn_Woodpecker/sounds#) :D Almost caught up browsing BF. Now I have to get out and finish...

    Acorn Woodpecker up on the Eugene O'Neill (American Playwright) Foundation Estate in Danville, Ca. Very good place for Acorn woodpeckers, with many split trees from overstorage of acorns.
