------=_Part_106250_18159031.1177888236677 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Today I checked the nest boxes on my property. Only one of the owl boxes was occupied, and that one held a Northern Flicker. I did not open the box or even approach it any closer once I saw the bird. Just as interesting, this is the first time we've had a flicker (female) use our suet feeder (for at least three days now). I've got diagnostic shots of this, but nothing publishable. Anyone know how sensitive this species is to nest checks? Something tells me that this evidence does not constitute confirmed breeding by Atlassing rules...I'll have to check that. One of my two Barred Owl boxes had several centimetres of porcupine droppings in it. Although we hear the Barreds, none have taken either of my boxes yet.
