Yesterday while walking the dog I saw 3 Acorn Woodpeckers clustered near the top of a wooden utility pole. One was inside a hole poking his/her head in and out, and the other 2 very close, obviously deep in noisy conversation. Two Eurasian Collared-Doves and a Starling looked on from the wires overhead. We have a resident population of Acorn Woodpeckers and I never tire of watching their antics. Are they nesting already? Near North Albany Park. Jamie B
