Finding a Beaked Hazelnut

Throughout the late summer, I have been watching for Beaked Hazelnuts.  I found one earlier in the summer but I didn't think it was ripe (still learning about these things).  I wanted to watch for more.  But little did I know, they are incredibly popular in the animal kingdom!! I've seen birds and squirrels at work.  Between them and who know what, I haven't found another one anywhere!! 

Finally, I get a little excited because I spot this one at 
the park yesterday:


When I took a closer look, I saw the husk and got really excited!!


However, when I turned it over, I saw that I was not the first to discover this one.  Perhaps a bird got into it (since it was still attached to the tree).


Maybe next year I will be wiser (and quicker).
