A male Acorn Woodpecker with a black and white streaked breast, black back, white face with black around the eyes and beak, and a red cap. This male was looking over at another bird as he sat on a light brown trunk of a tree with patches of green lichen, and a round brown area where a branch had been cut off. There are green leaves and brown branches in the background. Seen at Ragle Ranch Regional Park in Sebastopol, California.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Black&Red, birds with both black and red colors. Here's a male #AcornWoodpecker from my archives. Love these clown-faced birds! (Sebastopol, California - 2022) 🖤❤️🤡

An Acorn Woodpecker perched on a bare branch with a blue sky background.

Per Alan H: The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #perfectperch birds perched on a branch. The alt theme is #waterwings birds standing in water.

I think this #AcornWoodpecker fly catching fits the theme. I’m lucky to live in an area where they are abundant.
