Acorn Woodpecker

ABA 1

(Melanerpes formicivorus)

Acorn Woodpecker gets its name from its habit of sequestering acorns in holes which it drills into trees specifically for that purpose (see below). It is common in many western locales from Texas up through Oregon. The female has a black band between the red crown and the white forehead.
