Have you ever wondered why woodpeckers pound so incessantly?
In the case of acorn woodpeckers -- gregarious black-and-red birds in California’s oak forests -- they’re building an intricate pantry, a massive, well-organized stockpile of thousands of acorns to carry them through the winter.

Nice article! I recently started volunteering with California State Parks at Wildwood Canyon and this will be a great bit of info to pass along on tours and nature walks having observed these birds and their granaries in the park.
Excellent! Natural historian docents are the best!
