Thanks for the insights into the lives of these splendid creatures. They have come to my bird feeders in the past though not often, and their red heads look more like Fur than feathers. I assume they will not come this winter very much at all because they have plenty of pin oak Acorns to eat. Since it is a masting year for pin oaks does that mean it's a mass year for other oak trees as well? I would imagine not since that would not be very efficient.

I loved the pictures and the recording. Thanks Diane!

From what I observe at my place, the Pin Oaks and Red Oaks are masting. The white oak group of species, which includes White Oak and Burr Oak, are not. Thanks for commenting!
