I thought woodpeckers ate mostly insects in rotten wood.
Have you ever seen a woodpecker deposit an acorn?
I have not (I have seen the former).
I’m guessing there are some squirrels or chipmunks in the house too.

Those are white acorns, with minimal tannins. Human edible. Many recipes online.

When I was a kid near Minneapolis, Minnesota, a neighbor kid I knew collected a big box of acorns from the oak trees and stored them under his bed. Some time later there was a big box of worms that came out of those acorns....

Reminds me of an old Warner Brothers Elmer Fudd cartoon with the two goofy gophers Mac and Tosh.

Owned a large, log home in Tennessee a few years ago. The squirrels and woodpeckers loved it.

Never again.

Poor bird must have been like, “Where the #&%$ are they going?? I know I put them here...” And I know just how she feels, because I spend half my day wandering around looking for something I just put down.

Noisy is when the male woodpecker pounds on my metal roof. We use balloons tied to the deck rail. They work great to keep the woodpeckers away.
