Liking bayberry would explain their presence at Rainbow Haven then. =
There are at least 4 =E2=80=93 6 of them wintering there this year.

Hi all=20
In Pictou co. Most overwintering flickers are near sources of bayberry =
and here 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 one tree near the entrance of Pictou hbr and in the middle a =
red-bellied woodpecker. 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 the nearly 25 years of my doing this count.=20
=20
On the Springville count which runs an inland tangent from the Pictou =
hbr count we rarely get flickers- not a lot of inland bayberry. My =
thoughts anyway for what it is worth.=20

I have not seen one of these plots before; very impressive. What is =

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

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
=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.
