Here’s how a woodpecker prepares for winter

Nature at its best, is what this woodpecker gives us. This bird is preparing to survive the winter, the first thing he did was to find a dry tree, and then start making holes for acorns.

Each hole is made very carefully, because if the hole is big, other birds can easily steal the acorn. If the hole is narrow, it can break and deteriorate.

At the end of the summer, the woodpecker’s work is finished, by which time the acorns mature and take their place in the tree.
