Flying Acorn
Saw this little guy this morning, a feathered blur of a bird clutching an a bit of treasure as he zoomed past.
Who says acorns can't fly? The Acorn Woodpecker is proof that with enough caffeine and dedication, anything is possible.
These birds are basically feathered hoarders, living in huge groups and stuffing thousands of acorns into tree trunks for a rainy day. Gotta admire their commitment to a good snack.
