Veronica writes, "The Monument was open and the elevator tour was operational. If you go, please do what you can to get a ticket to go up inside the monument. It isn't a long time consuming activity, but getting there and parking is hard. But seeing all of DC... From up there was amazing!!! 10 out of 10!"

All About Birds says of Red-headed Woodpeckers, "These birds don't act quite like most other woodpeckers: they're adept at catching insects in the air, and they eat lots of acorns and beech nuts, often hiding away extra food in tree crevices for later."
