I have a pair of Flickers here and the male the last 2 days has been workin' all day on excavating what I hope will be their nesting hole. He works from sunup to sunset tirelessly. right now though as it is almost dark I can see his silohuette on the side of the tree right by the hole. Is he gonna cling there all night ??
