Acorn Woodpeckers feature a black-and-white pattern with a red cap, while their faces have a detailed black, white, and red pattern. Their unique facial features, which include striking white eyes surrounded by black, white, and red patterns, have earned them the title of jesters of the bird world.

Living in the Western United States oak woodlands, Acorn Woodpeckers are known to hoard and eat acorns, similar to squirrels. They drill precise holes in trees to store each acorn, sometimes resulting in thousands of acorns stored in a single tree. 

Likewise, these woodpeckers have a diverse diet that includes insects, sap, fruits, and sometimes even bird eggs or small animals.
