I had hoped that my Acorn Woodpeckers would be fruitful and multiply this summer. But as best I can tell, I still have just two birds.
They continue to hang out on the old dead Douglas fir snag that they've made into their granary.
I've noticed that the jays have figured out that the Acorns are stashing peanuts and other nuts. Now the jays fly around the snag and pester the acorns.
Friday afternoon we had two BIG BIRDS fly overhead!
Fighter jets!
Oh goodness! Why the fighter jets?
ReplyDeleteAww sweet birds...
ReplyDeleteYup why this huge plane ?

Whoa -- fighter jets? Whoa! We had a helicopter hovering and flying over and over our house the other day. Never figured out why. Too bad the Acorns didn't multiply. Those Jays can be so aggressive.
ReplyDeleteWow! very big birds!! Those acorn woodpeckers are such interesting looking birds!
ReplyDeletenow the fighter jets are a bit different ... hope they don't try and take the peanuts too ...lol love mouse xxxxx
ReplyDeleteSo do the jays actually get any of the peanuts the acorns are stashing?
ReplyDeleteAs long as the fighter jets aren't attacking, I think it would be awesome to see them fly overhead.
