Acorn Woodpecker (Melanerpes formicivorus)

CAPTION: Acorn Woodpecker
THIS SMALL WOODPECKER is famous for its unusual way of storing food. It pecks holes in anything wooden - including trees, buildings, and utility poles - and then fills each hole with a single acorn. Acorn woodpeckers live in family groups of up to 16 birds, and each group defends the area around its food stores from other families.
