Acorn Woodpecker, female, with meat

Arastradero Preserve

See a closeup of the meat item, possibly part of a nestling bird, at http://www.pbase.com/tgrey/image/155762459 . The literature shows Acorn Woodpeckers mainly subsisting on vegetable matter, mostly acorns, with some insects; there are only a few scattered reports of them eating meat.
