Acorn Woodpecker

The Acorn Woodpecker is a distinctive bird found in Central and South America, known for its striking black, white, and red markings. It primarily inhabits forests and woodlands. Its name comes from its unique behavior of storing acorns in holes drilled into trees and wooden structures, creating communal granaries. These birds forage by chiseling into wood to find insects and seeds. Social and intelligent, Acorn Woodpeckers often live in larger groups and coordinate their activities. Their striking appearance and resourceful habits make them notable among woodland bird species.
