Whitehorse: Northern Flickers

The call of a northern flicker is very distinctive. I’ve been hearing it over the last week walking to work but finally yesterday I figured out where they are. A telephone pole!


This morning I watched them defend the nest against a marauding squirrel!


I see that I did not get a picture of the bird attacking the squirrel. It was fast! But the nest is safe for another day.
