YS Flicker on our suet in Ovid. Only other winter flicker we have seen in 20+ yrs here was a sad pile of feathers under a cedar tree found in February 2012. Also have now been able to see both 2 male and 2 female redpolls simultaneously, so definitely have at least 4, am guessing between 4-8

Interesting about the Ovid Flicker! We have had a gorgeous M Flicker for the past three weeks, intermittently, and I believe it's the first one who has graced our Trumansburg yard with his presence. -- Forwarded message -- From: Date: Sat, Jan 31, 2015 at 11:03 AM Subject: [cayug
