Nothern Flickers - This morning, both of the male N. Flickers that have been frequent feeder visitors for the past several weeks were both on the suet feeder at the same time. I've seen a Flicker on the suet feeder with a Red-bellied Woodpecker at the same time on a few occasions. I use the wooden-framed suet feeder from Wild Birds Unlimited, which contains a wooden board that hangs down from the feeder, so the bigger woodpeckers have a place to brace their tail against. Normally when the Flickers come to the feeders at the same time, one is on the sunflower hopper and the other on the suet feeder. This was nice to see this morning, but, of course, I did not have a camera nearby.
