An acorn woodpecker peeking out of its cavity nest in an old tree surrounded several smaller holes used by its ancestors as a granary to store acorns. San Jose, California, April 2026

Got another pic of the nest in the tree being used as a granary for acorns. Fun-fact - Acorn Woodpeckers are cooperative breeders, multiple members share mates and other non-sexual members help with raising the chicks. The one outside the nest is clearly the male, which you can tell by the larger red “cap” on its head. The females have a smaller red cap.
