Yellow-eyed Acorn Woodpecker : Just pecking . . .
Acorn Woodpecker is gregarious, living in small colonies, using the same “granary tree” year after year. They chiefly feed on acorns and may use human structures to store food and holes in tree trunks.
Acorn Woodpeckers may exhibit slight geographical variation in their facial coloration, bill length and shape, and eye color among separate or isolated populations and subspecies across the bird’s range. Here the eyes of this particular bird are yellow whereas all the other birds' eyes of the same flock are white.
This was taken near Mather Point, South Rim of the Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA.
