"Spring is on its way when the loud joyful call of the flicker: "Wicker, wicker, wicker", echoes through the woodlands. Males are known for drumming in long continuous rolls made by rapid blows with his bill. Male Flickers will often return to their favorite drumming spot where most likely it is the loudest and noisiest spot.

Did you know?

If you want to attract a flicker to your backyard keep a fresh birdbath, don't kill your ants in your backyard and lay out apples, peanut butter, or raisins.

The young stay with their parents for up to six weeks.

Flickers breed for life."
