just remembered that Acorn Woodpeckers perform "pre-roost mounting" aka the whole family group dry-humps each other for no apparent reason right before bedtime
so like what the fuck is up with that (answer: science doesnt yet know)

From left to right, top to bottom; { Acorn Woodpecker | American Robin | Anna's Hummingbird | Golden-Crowned Sparrow | Mourning Dove | Northern Flicker | Red-Shouldered Hawk | Scrub Jay | Spotted Towhee }
Notes: I think that's the same hawk from the other day; I spent most of my morning following it, trying to get a decent picture. I only really got a couple okay ones, but a good video of it calling.

What’s for dinner? This tree is a pantry to an acorn woodpecker (Melanerpes formicivorus), holding its acorn stash. The species has unusual behaviors, such as living in large groups, breeding cooperatively, and hoarding acorns. They wedge acorns into the holes they've made in the trunk. This image came from Arizona, but this type of woodpecker is living from Canada to Colombia.
