I drove to Pueblo Mtn Park yesterday to see if I could get some photo documentation of breeding by the Acorn Woodpeckers that have been at this location since found in June, 2012. I observed both a female and a male bringing food, insects, to the nest hole and taking out what is likely fecal sacs. In fact I observed a number of visits by both the female and the male to the apparent nest hole that occurred repeatedly over about an hour. On some occasions the parent would spend less than a minute inside the cavity and others would be prolonged to several minutes. I got photos of this and have put together a sequence, albeit some the female and others the male (depending on which were better photos) that I have uploaded to my Birds and Nature blog.
