Hello Mr. Flicker
Boy, birdwatching couldn’t get much better than this—from the comfort of my own home! First the Pileated Woodpecker; now the Northern Flicker. This is a male Flicker, identified by his handsome black mustache. The other day a squirrel was poking his head out of this tree cavity. I wonder who will stop by next?

Ben,
The camcorder is a Sanyo Xacti VPC-TH1 HD 30x optical zoom.

My two love birds started chirping when they heard the flicker on the video. LOL I have a couple of flickers in my yard and I love to watch them. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool! I’m going to have to get me a camcorder. And I’m going to need that tree.

Very funny Steve
Yes, a camcorder is even more fun than a camera. You need one.
Karen,
LOL, it’s interesting to see pets’ reactions.
Amy,
