Title: Norther Flicker
Post by: Brian Bailey on March 19, 2012, 12:28:41 PM

Riding along the waterfront trail yesterday afternoon, I had a Northern Flicker at the side of the trail near the former Lakeview Generating Station.  I heard one calling in the Niagara area Friday, but this was the first one I've actually seen this year.

It seems there were a lot more Grackles around too.  I had 14 in one small tree.

I saw this guy on the Humber Trail east of hwy-27. Lots of RW blackbirds, Grackles and Cedar Waxwings around too.
