Went out to a local lake in Nova Scotia a few nights ago to cool off from the 30 Degree Celsius heat and kept hearing a Flicker call, but the location seemed strange. Finally found some nearly fledged young in a dead tree cavity calling and begging for food.
Spent a few fun hours watching and photographing them.
Went back last evening, and at least one of them was calling from nearby trees. One kept sticking it'shead out of the nest hole, but seemed pretty timid. Not ready to leave yet I guess.
Pretty amazing to witness and imagine the whole breeding season from the parents courting behavior all the way to fledged young.
Feeling priveledged at being to witness, and document this through wildlife photography.
