Observation details
Lifers! Continuing adult and juvenile at campsite 47. Adult with scarlet red head, silver bill, black upperparts with white triangles at bottoms of folded wings. Juvenile with similar plumage outline with brownish head washed out appearance. Juvenile's contact call almost sounds like a gray tree frog. Watched the adult fend off 3-5 Blue Jays to defend its territory. I also saw the adult bring an acorn to the top of a snag to hammer into it, before dropping the acorn after a number of hits, seemingly surprised that it slipped out of its grasp.
