Flickering on Backyard Wildlife Wednesday

 
With the cooler weather, the Northern Flickers are returning to the area, these birdies are members of the Woodpecker family and one of Mama's favorite birds, mostly because ants are one of their favorite foods....and Mama does NOT like ants!

Here is some Fun Flicker Footage:

(As always, feel free to visit our YouTube Channel HERE)

They have the cutest black bibs, don't you think?!

    I guess if we ever have ants in the house we need to get one of these birds into the house too!

    Niece Rosy,
    Flurry of N. Flickers is wonderful. I love them ...probably the largest of the birds that reg. visit our suet and sometimes they hang on to the edge of a nut and berry feeder while enjoying the seeds.
    Last week we watched a Nature (PBS) program on the many varieties of Woodpeckers. I had no idea of the sizes, colors facts of many of them
    Hugs AC

    The black bibs are very nice indeed - look like they were painted on the flickers:). Good that they eat ants. The woodpeckers around here just peck at our chimney and drive our Dad crazy.

    Charlee: "BIRDS!!!"
    Lulu: "Our Dada says that his Merlin app has picked up a flicker around here once or twice, but we have never seen them! Maybe there is another bird talking to a flicker on speakerphone or something ..."

    What precious feathered friends! Although I do like ants in their place, outdoors cleaning up, but not in my house. There are far too many, I'm glad something eats them before they can get in the house.
