Tweeters,
I was very excited to see my first acorn woodpecker on the campus of OSU
this weekend! There were about five in a grove of 8 old oak trees. The
trees were very large, and all had acorns stashed in the crevices in the
bark. In fact, while I was watching them, a large grey squirrel stole some
acorns, and he was chased across the tops of three trees, along the ground,
and out of sight! Beautiful birds. Are they fairly common in the pacific
NW?
