Woodpecker stored over 700lbs of acorns in walls of CA home.
Workers say the woodpecker was making holes to store its food, which kept falling into spaces in the walls.

| The acorn woodpecker likes to store acorns, naturally enough, to consume later |
When they cut into the wall, over 700 pounds of acorns were discovered. The company posted on Facebook that there was eight bags' worth of acorns stuffed in the walls. "Never came across anything like it," the post said.
I am eternally grateful to my Mother's two sisters who changed my life, almost everything came from their generosity and love. I mention this because I have an Aunt Vonda story for you today, but there are many Aunt Martha stories to come.

Aunt Vonda loved birds, so in preparing today's blog I remembered this little story. Aunt Vonda always had a canary in the kitchen. His name was always Bing. Aunt Vonda was a wonderful cook, as were all the five sisters, and loved that Bing filled her kitchen and house with song. She would often say, "Bing sings to beat the band!" When a bird comes in my yard, I think it's Aunt Vonda visiting. I do.

One lonely poppy does represent hope. Beautiful, Jacki! :-)
Thank you, John. I love that you comment, I know you are busy.
Jacky, this Aunt Vonda story is so lovely. I too love bird songs and I already made some videos so I can listen to some birds when I rarely hear them around the house. We don't have as many birds as we had some years ago.
Thamks Elenor, yes, I think maybe our strides for modernization had been at the birds expense, like the bees.
