I heard a knocking high above in the trees; the bird keep on knocking for while and I saw it more than once during the day in the same tree.
Thanks James for that suggestion, great video. Let's see according to the video this spotting is of a male.
Check out the video from Cornell Lab of Ornithology.....http://allaboutbirds.org/guide/Acorn_Woodpecker/videosWoul'd love to see one some time, they are not found in the northeastern US where I am though.
