I learned something I thought was pretty cool the other day. I had been watching a woodpecker come in and pick up corn throughout the morning. He really didn't look big enough to swallow a whole kernal of corn so I watched him fly over to an old mesquite tree by my tripod. He would drop the corn at the same place on a part of the tree truck that make a sharp turn toward the ground. The corn would get caught in the bark and he would then peck it and break up the kernal. He did this numerous times throughout the day and went to the same place on the mesquite. I think this was one smart bird.
