"What be that bird who whistles in my ear?" I ask myself daily. I am informed by my host, the jolly Cap'n Cutlip, that it be the Northern Flicker, a bird that also dwells back at home with you, my beloveds, though much like me he make these parts his winter home. Perhaps this noisome fellow is the very bird that inhabits our largest tree and hammers to us through the Spring, come to watch over me until I find my way home!
Here you may watch him at his daily business and hear his various sounds:
and here see a sweet Flicker courtship dance:
and a very silly fledgling who doesn't know how to feed herself yet:
Awwwww....
