Top notch imagery Gary. Those long pointed acorns are interesting and seem to be perfect for those storage holes.
Such a stunning bird, very nice captures!

Thanks guys. I first noticed these birds when I was pushing my grandson on a swing on a California visit
I kept seeing that flash of white up in the treetops and wondering what they were. So I went back early in the morning when no one was around and found them pretty active and much closer for some photos.

Terrific subject and set Gary, I really like the last one with its wings spread best for some reason... such a striking bird.

#6, showing the nearly fully stocked pantry, is unique.

Thanks Eric. It was the white on the wings that initially grabbed my attention

John mentioned the same thing, that he hadn't seen one. Very surprising to hear considering your collective experience

Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool how they hollow out those little pockets.

Gary, great series, great behavior activity captured. Of the 25 years I lived in California, 4 were spent in the Sierra foothills above Fresno (1984-88). My shared I/2 mile driveway was surrounded by barbwire. Each post had multiple holes with and without acorns. Great to see, great to remember.
Thanks.
Thanks.
