Hi all=20
In Pictou co. Most overwintering flickers are near sources of bayberry and h=
ere that is often near the shore like caribou I , Melmerby pp and big I.=20
This year on Pictou hbr Cbc the Vines had 6-7 flickers nicely decorating on=
e tree near the entrance of Pictou hbr and in the middle a red-bellied woodp=
ecker. The odd one shows up elsewhere like Pictou town which is coastal in a=
way. We rarely have missed getting a number of flickers on this count in t=
he nearly 25 years of my doing this count.=20
On the Springville count which runs an inland tangent from the Pictou hbr co=
unt we rarely get flickers- not a lot of inland bayberry. My thoughts anywa=
y for what it is worth.=20
Cheers
Ken
