Hi Keith,
    I have not seen one of these plots before; very impressive. What is =
the difference between a blue balloon and a red one ? Assuming the =
pointed end is the location marker, nearly all are near salt water or in =
the warmer end of the Annapolis Valley (when viewed at large scale); =
suggests aversion to cold.
Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville

  Welcome to the list.=20

  Northern Flickers are in range for overwintering in the western half =
of the Nova Scotia mainland.=20

  =20

  You=E2=80=99ll have to zoom in but this map shows eBirded Northern =
Flickers in Jan/Feb for the last 10 years. Click on =E2=80=9CShow Points =

  ok - its just a play on words.....

  =20

  We've been hosting a Northern Flicker at our feeders this winter.

  Yesterday my wife Heather heard a noise in the back yard and looked =
out to see TWO Northern Flickers battling for a spot on our suet feeder. =


  =20

  It seems odd to me that Flickers are now overwintering in the =
Maritimes.

  Maybe it is a new climate change trend or perhaps they have always =
been capable of withstanding our  cold temps but never had such an =
abundant winter food source like they do now, given all the feeding =
stations around.
