Had time for a short walk...made a loop through Cook's....hoped to see the Acorn Woodpeckers...eating an acorn!....read through some web posts last night on whether they might cultivate larvae by putting the acorns in the trees...wiki's take is that's a misconception...another take said it was a myth...one poster had reservations...some things I'm considering...the noise and the vibration of the Woodpeckers' pecking stirs up the grubs...and one source has it that a large percentage of acorns are infested with larvae while still on the trees...and an old source describes the Woodpeckers behaviour during a cold winter...the search last night brought up a good bit on the acorns of not just the Black Oaks, but others all across California...seems they have crops of acorns in concert...a dry Spring one possible trigger...oh...I'll try to gather and coordinate all this..for sometime!!...clip is from Jan. 12, last year...and is just part of Bobcat's walk that day....something I wanted to do then, was put all the Bobcat clips together....as many of them happened at the same time of day, with the same snowy landscape...so far I have enough to show Bobcat going from the Deer House to Sleepy Owl Woods....thought was to get enough for all the way to Siberia!...still a hope, I'd say!...as report today of Bobcat on the Rocky Slope beside the A. Road....sunny blue and cool...tomorrow I gear up for Bobcat pics and clips!!...hopefully...but will be happy with whomever Critters come along!!
