Stashing Seeds

Redheaded Woodpecker stashing his sunflower seed in pine bark- do you think he'll remember where he placed it? I had to google it and read that birds that store food may hide hundreds or thousands of seeds every year. Many species not only remember their hiding places, but what kind of tidbit they hid in each particular place. Some are extra cautious and may re-hide seeds if they think another animal saw the hiding spot.
