Acorn Woodpeckers: voice of the oak woodlands

Acorn Woodpeckers are the voice of the oak woodland foothills of the Sierra where I live. You can’t miss hearing their calls throughout the day. In spite of the name, acorn woodpeckers feed primarily on insects. During winter months, when insects are less prevalent, they rely upon communal acorn granaries, thousands of holes drilled into utility poles. Photo illustrations.
