the acorn woodpecker is a unique woodpecker species found from the southwestern united states through central america, ranging as far south as colombia. these birds are ‘cooperative breeders’ - they live in groups of up to fifteen individuals, with all females laying their eggs communally in one nesting cavity. pairing arrangements vary, with some birds remaining monogamous while others join breeding collectives of up to 8 males and 4 females. as their name implies, acorn woodpeckers highly rely on acorns for food. it’s believed that the acorn crop’s importance to this species leads them to sometimes nest during fall, a rarity for birds. acorns are stored by these birds in granaries or storage trees formed by the birds drilling holes, sometimes thousands of them, and stuffing acorns in them for later retrieval. despite acorns being an important part of the diet - which are fiercely defended by territorial acorn woodpeckers - their diet also includes sap, insects, and fruit.

Day 7 of #AvianAugust: Masked Booby (Sula dactylatra) The red-footed, brown and masked boobies can all be found on and around Hawaii, but the masked booby is the largest of the three. It nests on remote atolls and islands that form part of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

Masked Boobies nest on the ground, but the nest is less of a traditional bird's nest and more of a scrape in an open sandy or rocky area. The beach naupaka plays a role in stabilizing the environment around their nesting sites. It also provides shady spots for chicks to stay out or the sun, and a barrier against strong winds. In return for the plants protection, the boobies provide the surrounding soil with nitrogen and phosphorus rich guano, promoting better plant growth. Who doesn't love a booby!?

*Plant featured is a native Hawaiian species, Beach Naupaka (Scaevola taccada)
