Very pretty fall colors.
Confirmation - there are TWO male Acorn Woodpeckers as I'd thought.
The young bird flew in first.
He was in constant motion.
See the blue eye?
Here's a better look.
A handsome young guy.
And here's the other male.
A mature adult - thus pink eyes.
You guys need to find a female - and fast!

Love your pilgrim pair, Beth! Yay for the two males!
I live in the Central Willamette Valley, in the midst of a huge oak savanna (several hundred acres) and we have no acorns this year for our large population of acorn woodpeckers. I am supplementing with gleaned filberts and suet 'slop' mixed with corn, grains and dried fruit. They are fun birds to watch.
