Out for a morning walk at moms and I went to check on a dead tree I noticed the other day with a few woodpecker homes. I noticed a little head sticking out of one of the holes so I went back to grab my camera. By the time I got back Mr. Northern Flicker was sitting on a near by branch and I didn't even notice the two little beaks sticking out the hole patiently waiting to be fed. So glad I threw the little Sony camera in the car just don't tell Nik.... now to find the black squirrel ....
Male Northern Flickers have a black mustache while females do not.
