Punker Peanut Poacher

From this perch in the tree to the peanuts on the deck.

From the peanuts on the deck to the fence below (maybe 15 feet away).

From the fence he'd hop down out of sight behind the retaining wall...

Seconds later he'd reappear on the fence.

From the fence to the perch in the tree.

Repeat...

15 or more times

Eventually, I got curious about just what this little punker rocker was up to, donned my rain gear and went out to investigate the area he'd vanished to each time... Nothing... No pile of peanuts that I could see.
There's no way he could eat the nuts that fast, so there must be a treasure trove nearby, stashed by one wet but happy red-bellied woodpecker. :)
