Yellow-shafted Flicker Video

Yellow-shafted Flickers nested in the ash tree behind our house. They worked on excavating this former hairy woodpecker nest hole in early May, and then moved in. The female laid eggs at some point. In the last couple of weeks, I started hearing their warning call at the far end of the neighbor's yard. This confused me because their nest was in our backyard. I guess that, at some point, they realized that our backyard was too busy, and decided to move to a new location. They made the move on May 22nd. We documented as much as we could without disturbing them. But, we do miss all the commotion...the loud calls from early morning to late afternoon. It is way too quiet now. Make sure you turn your sound on to hear their call.
