Thanksgiving is our harvest festival. Lately, I've been noticing walnut shells on the tennis courts at school and on nearby roads. But there are no walnut trees growing in the immediate area. I've also been noticing the noisy Acorn Woodpeckers stuffing new acorns into trees and telephone poles.
Woodpeckers are insectivores that mostly eat ants and grubs.
