Lewis' Woodpecker carrying acorns to a cottonwood tree where s/he shoves them in crevices for eating later.  Also a Steller's Jay.

I learned how Black-billed Magpies use their tails to maintain balance.  They are absolutely crazy about peanuts, and emptied the feed in less than 5 minutes.  They come rocketing in and use their tails at the last minute to stop when they land directly on the feeder.  The research made me think about how the tall grass will obscure them while they are ground feeding, so I photographed them from my second-floor window.
