Watch until 0:05 for a flicker of cuteness! Northern Flickers nest in dead or dying tree trunks and branches, and they prefer trees like pine and cottonwood. They’ve been known to nest in posts, telephone poles, and nest boxes within 9 ft from the ground. Unlike other woodpeckers, Northern Flickers forage for food on the ground. They mainly eat insects like ants and beetles. Northern Flickers will hammer away at underground ant colonies the way other woodpeckers drill into wood. 🎥: Dan Streiffe

A Northern Flicker nestling calls from the nest cavity. The first part of the video with the "kleer!" calls is in real time, the second part with nestling trying to lick flying bugs out of the air is in slow motion. | Jocelyn Anderson Photography
