Breeds in wooded areas, prefers woodland with acorns. Usually nests in trees.
It looked like he was checking his reflection in the pool!

I've always only see the feathers or a quick glimpse of them :)
Too noisy for my tastes, but interesting to watch! There were six or seven of them yesterday morning, all shouting at me while I was working. Think I was disturbing them! :D
I love these guys!
