Acorn Woodpecker

Acorn Woodpeckers live in large groups in western oak woodlands. Their social lives are fascinating: they store thousands of acorns each year by jamming them into holes they make in trees or wooden fenceposts and power poles. A group member is always on alert to guard the acorns from other birds. Acorn woodpeckers have a distinctive parrotlike waka-waka call.
