I don't think the WP cam has been working for a couple of days. Oh! well, maybe next spring; otherwise, I am bored now with this Acorn WP cam. Anyway; thanks TBN for what you can do to increase awareness of birds.
Cam is working, no WP!

There were two woodpeckers in the box last night [8-11-07]; lounging on the "couch".
Maybe I'm nuts
08/11/07 18:18
But this doesn't look like the same box as before. I could swear the drainage holes are bigger. Have we switched?

And that does look like a couch to me, LOL.

Something is laying on the bottom of the box, it looks like a piece of wood. Ideas anybody?

08/02/07 12:45
There was a woodpecker in the box [cam time says 9:38 AM.] I have never seen one in the box in the daytime before. It did not stay long after I saw it.
What's in the box?
08/02/07 12:45
If I didn't know better, I'd say it looks like a nestling. I'm sure it's not, but what IS it?

Even with 3 in the box they still form a heart shape outline! BH
Okay, now I'm confused...
08/01/07 22:33
I swear that it looks like the two birds are in the box, and another one is perched on the entrance. Is this getting to be a party?

About wood shavings.
07/31/07 14:58
Maybe Acorn woodpeckers prefer empty boxes [no shavings] for nesting sites. I put up a box originally for Kestrals. A pair of eastern Flickers moved in instead. They "chipped" out some parts of the bottom and sides of the box. I was just wondering if putting wood chips/shavings [almost full] would "satisfy" a woodpeckers urge to "chip away" at a hole and preserve my box. Thanks.
something else?
07/31/07 13:46
mates, siblings, or something else. Hummm. Maybe just best friends? Its a big world out there.
2 woodpeckers
07/31/07 00:45
I only have part of the cam picture, but it is so nice to see 2 in the box.

07/26/07 18:56
I have read that nest boxes for woodpeckers should be stuffed with wood shavings so that they "normally" peck them out before establishing a nest. Is this true?

Acorn Woodpecker News from Birdland Ranch
07/19/07 11:22
Good Morning All,

Apologies all around for the delay in briefing you wonderful cam viewers of the goings-on! Here's the latest...The camera is down for some inexplicable reason right now 8:15 MST, soon to be rectified, but I will give you all a daily report anyway from now on as the monsoon storms require us to shut down and unplug daily now.


This morning the female ACWO (bird shorthand, for Acorn Woodpecker!) was seen bringing in acorns and looking for places to stash them. She succeeded in squeezing one in the upper left corner, which you'll be able to see. She came and went a few times with acorns in her beak, but didn't put them down. Its a mystery to all of us here why these two are not breeding. If they are brother and sister, they won't to be sure, but why were they in the box together? We have a research project going on at the ranch called MoMs (see 'Kate's Field Notes' on our website) and I have consulted them too as well as CLO. We are all puzzled, which is why these cams are so valuable as research tools, a gateway into the secret life of cavity-nesters!

All we can do is watch and take notes! They always give me pleasure watching them with or without nestlings.

More to come,

Kate

I was reading through your latest field notes and I read about this acorn woodpecker hanging out at the food pole close to the box. Is this what she will do until she lays eggs, and what role if any will the male play? I also read that you have a large variety of birds nesting right now, but no other woodpeckers were mentioned. Is this typical for this time of year, or are you seeing fewer woodpeckers then usual.
Thank you in advance!

And here she is. Although, I was wondering ... I think I saw two different birds in here tonight. One I saw just briefly as it was leaving, it looked solid black with a round tail.

This one has a white back and a square tail. Or is it just the way she has her wings and tail folded for exiting the box that makes her look solid black? ~Kara

After reading Katie's latest field notes it sounds like you have a lot of bird nest activity going on there. Glad to read that the elf owl has so many eggs. I'm also very curious about the Mexican Jay that may be building a nest there, as I'm very attached to my loyal pair of Western Scrub Jay's (I'm in Ca.) Your latest essay on our ecosystem was excellent and I highly recommend viewers to visit your sight and read it along with the field notes. Looking forward to seeing some Acorn nestlings real soon!
Nest box

I noticed that there is no nesting materials, such as wood shavings,ect. What do acorn woodpeckers put in the box? Do they just use what they manage to "peck" off the box?

I just went through your entire web site and I want to let you know that I truly admire your conservation efforts. The essays touched my heart, and I really enjoyed reading the blog and the field notes. It sounds as if you have quite a few flycatchers nesting, they are one of my favorites!
Thank you for all that you are doing for nature.

05/18/07 19:22
Is the cam broken? Haven't seen it in awhile. Just wondered if you can see that too. Maybe it's a cornell glitch?
Thank-you cam host
05/14/07 18:17
for the info you have provided. We are amature cam watchers,enjoying what you are providing for us. I will continue to watch, despite the empty box !! Keep up the good work birdland ranch!!!:)
Guess this box is a dud
05/10/07 17:24
Nobody wants to use it. sad to see. Was hoping to see nature at this nest.maybe they found a good site in a real tree.
no activity?
05/07/07 10:22
Anybody see any birdies here lately? I haven't since the owl picture.
Apartment for rent!!!
05/03/07 20:49
Lots of species checking out the vacant "apartment" I think any one of these potential renters would be interesting to watch. My vote is for the woodpecker though. I've never seen a family of them up close. Sher in PA

05/03/07 00:09
I think that may be an owl in the box, definitely not a woodpecker!
What a cute pic
04/30/07 10:28
of the pair of acorns. I hope they have a family. How many eggs can we expect. I've never seen a woodpecker nest on camera. Really looking roward to this one!!!
YEA !!! Cam is up ,
04/28/07 22:09

Is there any activity at the nest box? Can you fill us in on what is happening there? I would guess that the woodpecker continued to make her nest and lay eggs.

Anyone know what kind?
Fix??
04/22/07 11:32
I'm getting curious to know if the woodpeckers nested in this box. Are there any efforts being made to re-establish the connection? Thanks.

Is the woodpecker going to make a nest?
04/10/07 09:12
If they clean out the box, does that mean they will make a nest?

Enlarging Hole
04/04/07 17:40
It appears that, as in prevous years, the Acorn Woodpecker is attempting to somewhat enlarge the entrance hole. If the woodpecker is successful, will that deter Elf Owls?
Woodpecker?

Is that the woodpecker in the box this morning?

I just saw a beak of a bird in the hole. It looked to be that of a bluebird.
