Female northern flicker woodpecker at dusk today making itself known on top of our next door neighbor’s house at dusk tonight. It’s mating season! Woodpeckers peck loudly to claim territory and attract mates.

Heard the call of a pileated woodpecker out in the woods behind us. Located and caught some photos. Realized we have a pair!!! The male has a red “mustache” stripe on its face (images 2&3), female has black (image 1).
