To describe my lifelong fascination with flight and with creatures that fly I like to echo the words of John James Audubon who in 1839 wrote of himself as "...one who never can cease to admire and to study with zeal and the most heartfelt reverence, the wonderful productions of an Almighty Creator."

Acorn Woodpecker
I noticed this morning that at least three different adult Acorn Woodpeckers are taking food to the young in the nest. According to the Audubon Encyclopedia of North American Birds, such behavior is quite common with this very social species.
dear floyd I wonder are those acorn woodpeckers are the same? well they sure are pretty.
ReplyDeleteNeat picture of an acorn woodpecker. The best I could do with my little point and shoot is the hole-riddled trunk of a ponderosa pine!
ReplyDeleteTake a look!
