Acorn Woodpecker

Acorn Woodpecker

This obvious clown-faced woodpecker of american oak woods is amazing for its social routines, existing over much of its vary in public categories of up to 4 or more reproduction men and as many as 3 reproduction females. These categories maintain and protect amazing granaries in which thousands of acorns are kept in gaps drilled in shrub trunks or utility posts for future consumption; in a study a single shrub included more than 50,000 acorn-storage gaps. Acorn woodpeckers also feast by sallying for traveling by air bugs and harvesting trunks, and they often eat bugs (as demonstrated in the species’ medical name). Polytypic. Length 9" (23 cm).
