Dear Tweets;

It is quite interesting that there *is* OR *is NOT* a relationship
between acorn crops and bird residency/migration/breeding habits.
An Ecologist with the USDA Forest Service who has been monitoring
Acorn crops in Canada, Washington and Oregon has indicated on the
Prairie Oak list that:

"I have been conducting an annual acorn survey for Oregon white oak
from British Columbia to southern Oregon since 1999. This is the
worst production year in the history of the survey almost everywhere."

I wonder what the possible relationship might be between birds and acorns :)
