Northern Flickers were abundant on this morning’s Cox Hall Creek WMA walk. A moustached male worked on a potential nest cavity, with other completed holes both above and below him on the tree trunk. Flickers are important birds for other cavity nesters, such as chickadees and titmice, since the flickers unused cavities can be adopted by these birds that don’t have the ability to excavate holes.
