A pair of flickers just followed one after other up trunk of large ash, on E side of tree. After one flew, the other has clung to the trunk, with its head folded back, bill down into its feathers, in “roosting” position, if you can imagine. A red v located very weirdly at the top off the body.,
Now it has turned to preening, after about 4 min in its “face in feathers” posture. These are FOY Flickers seen in my yard. Other than that, I and the sparrows are impressed at how aggressive purple finches are, not just males.
