Aren't Woodpeckers Interesting?


Through Memorial Day, I went to a place called Live Oak Camp. It was all very fun, but there were many holes in the ground and was very dirty. I thought it was all worth it though. We went camping there for three days. Here is the sign if you are interested:

Wow! Here is a tree with lots of some kind of nut  We are not sure if they are oak nuts, but they kind of look like them. In addition, they are oak trees and it is pretty obvious because the place is called Live Oak Camp.

There were also some trees that had holes and did not have nuts growing in them. We thought the woodpeckers drilled the holes into them and then placed nuts for food throughout the winter.

I took one out of the tree and cracked it open. It looked like an almond but then I took the brown flap off and it had a yellow inside!

Have you ever seen something like this?


What do you think this nut is called?
