~ Bird’s Eye View ~ Two Picidae Friday Flyers + WPC – Eye Spy 1 ~

Posted on December 4, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

Our suet feeders are visited regularly by Downy Woodpeckers and Northern Flickers.

It was a joy to watch adult Downy’s bring their fledglings to the feeder last spring. This year I have seen, though not photographed Yellow Shafted Flickers in the area. Beautiful big birds, Northern Flickers are very cautious and will fly off into the trees at even a small movement.
