They’re back!
A month ago, a Northern Flicker pair had spent days preparing a nest hole in my gray birch tree, only to be evicted by a squirrel.

Now there’s a male flicker in the cavity.
Will he and his mate successfully raise a brood of little flickers?
Or will the squirrels chase them away again?
Stay tuned…
