Since about 2000 we have had a flicker stay successfully in the winter, and 
it seems
to have learned from the other birds that eating suet and sunflower seed 
will sustain it.
They've been here in January, February, March, and April,  so by then the 
ones we were
seeing and hearing could even have been early spring migrants. I think most 
of them still
migrate, but more are staying successfully here. JET

I am  sure as we can be (without DNA, I suppose) we have had  Flickers 
staying the winter here as well. I can't say that I have found bodies and 
they do feed on all but the chickadee feeder and even spend quite a bit of 
time in the grapevine when it is very cold and windy.
