Acorn Woodpecker | Greeting Card by Gene Irvin (1934–2026)

Celebrate the charm of the Acorn Woodpecker with this detailed illustration by Gene Irvin, dated 8-26-12. Rendered in fine pen and ink, the piece captures the woodpecker's bold black-and-white plumage, crimson cap, and famously curious personality — a familiar, clownish character of the oak woodlands of the American Southwest.

Acorn Woodpeckers are known for their remarkable habit of drilling thousands of holes into a single "granary" tree and wedging an acorn into each one — a communal food store tended by the whole family group. Gene captures that bright-eyed, sociable energy in a single portrait.
