NORTHERN FLICKER

Lots of activity on our pond these days. The mallards, mergansers and Canadian geese have returned and are scouting out suitable nesting sites. I should build nesting boxes for the ducks.



We also have a Northern Flicker staying in the area. It is a type of woodpecker and lives in tree hollows.






Although we have lots of black and red squirrels outside our window we have only one chipmunk. 


Time to get outside and split some wood. I cut down eight trees this winter and need to get the wood split and stored before the black-flies show up.

Thanks for stopping by and safe travels everyone.
