A female belted kingfisher carrying a herring to a perch ✔️

A Great Blue Heron hunting at the shore at the local lake. ✔️ ✔︎

An Acorn Woodpecker pushing off a tree trunk to move an acorn from one hiding spot to another.
Taken at Lake Lagunitas, which is a paradise for acorn woodpeckers. The lake features insects to feed on in addition to all the acorns from the surrounding trees. When you go hiking there, you can hear their calls from pretty much everywhere. ✔️
