Acorn Woodpeckers

During a visit to California last year, a friend and I went birding. Early one morning we headed to Rancho San Antonio, a wilderness area in Silicon Valley. In a previous life I had lived in this area and had hiked often in this sprawling nature park. However, that was before I became interested in birds. This hike was a new experience as the focus of the walk was very different: I tried to find hints and clues to where the birds might be.
