T...when we moved here we had a lot of woodpeckers. They seemed to prefer dead "Digger" ( sorry, I will never get used to calling them Grey Pines) Pines and our wood shake roof. When we finally replaced it with something less flammable, the roofers found many pounds of acorns tucked neatly under the shakes. They also riddled the fascia boards with holes- I'm sure they were confounded when the acorns they tried to insert fell through the holes.<br />We had a successful Acorn Woodpecker nest in a dead limb on a Blue Oak in our yard last spring. John was going to take The limb down until he saw the male bringing bugs to the female. We enjoyed watching the progress of the family until the fledgling was Just about ready to leave the nest hole. Alas, we found it on our deck dead - we think it flew into our sliding glass door. :-( . Over the years, the woodpeckers have mostly disappeared here along with the dead Digger Pines and have seemed to be replaced by squirrels- both grey and the introduced red one. we have turned into the 'burbs. <br /><br />BrittaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527944689184796366.post-1814909795020013532010-12-22T10:53:34.331-08:002010-12-22T10:53:34.331-08:00Very interesting project- hope to hear more on thi...Very interesting project- hope to hear more on this in the future!!brdpicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17483256137426275518noreply@blogger.com
