Northern flickers.

We have had regular visits from flickers dropping into to our little stream.

We had four at one time today and I managed to get an image of three at the water.

Rondeau Provincial Park, Sept 20, 2022.

Colaptes auratus.

Northern Flickers generally nest in holes in trees like other woodpeckers. Occasionally, they’ve been found nesting in old, earthen burrows vacated by Belted Kingfishers or Bank Swallows.
