It's mating season and we've got male flickers (a woodpecker-like bird for those that aren't familiar with them) pecking up a storm to attract their mate!  They seem to especially like pecking at our metal chimney flu, starting at 6:30 a.m.!

    I have a pair of flickers that come to a suet block I put out by my bird feeders. They seem to like pecking on an oak tree in my yard.

    Oh no!   Are they at least fun to watch when they aren't waking you up at 6am?

    They are actually quite cool (though notorious for their pecking - one has made a hole in the siding of our neighbour's house!).  I kind of like their drumbeat of their pecking (though not at 6:30 a.m.).  The other day there were 3 or 4 females lined up on a branch watching (or listening?) as the male does his thing!

Attached is a photo of the Northern Flicker which we get around here.

    That's cool 
I have a pair of nuthatches in one of my trees.   They peck away too.   Fun to watch and they make cute little noises
