Today's Nature Moment



Acorn Woodpecker stashing acorns

This isn't the best picture I've ever taken of an Acorn Woodpecker. And I've seen (though probably never bothered to take a picture of) lots of trees filled with holes, made by Sapsuckers and other Woodpeckers. But this is the first time I've ever seen, as well as taken a picture of, an Acorn Woodpecker actively embedding acorns in a tree. Look closely (click on the picture for a larger copy) and you'll see dozens of holes, about half of them empty and the other half filled with little yellowish dots which are the embedded acorns.
