They get their name from their habit of jamming nuts and acorns into tree bark and then wacking them with their bill to " hatch" out the seeds inside.Can't believe the Viginia Creeper vines are already changing color!
Beautiful soft picture, it is a pretty bird. My brother in law is currently living in Maryland (he is a great photographer), the leaves are already starting to "fall". I am looking forward to some vibrant Autumn shots.
