As it turns out, the first flicker nest site was a decoy. It is left abandoned, minus the comings and goings of curious starlings looking for real estate. Further up the tree, however, flickers found another cozy nest site they are spending their days pounding and scraping clean. This morning squirrel investigated. Flicker objected, then escaped to a nearby maple tree.
I am drawn to the stories—what will happen, Who will prevail, the Flicker or the squirrel?
