I always love seeing this - food storage for acorn woodpeckers.

This is my new favorite bird. I’ve always been fascinated by woodpeckers.

Birds like woodpeckers need mature trees to survive. UK bioenergy subsidies threaten woodpecker habitat. We need your help to protect vital woodpecker habitat across the US South. Take Action!

Downy Woodpeckers. These sound way louder than what they are. Spotted a lot of them yesterday’s morning. One of them even got really close to the camera.
