We don't usually see Flickers here in NE Wisconsin, but this fellow has figured out where the suet feeder is.

Before Christmas 2010, this Yellow shafted flicker arrived in our yard, It was satisfied to pick up the suet dropped to the ground untill the snow arrived, then he had to master landing on the dangling suet feeder.  Now he's a regular on the feeder, but he has a waist not---want not attitude, as he will still fly down to get what he dropped.

I also saw a Carolina Wren yesterday, scouting for insects, even though there is still plenty of snow cover. Fifty degrees is in the forecast for the end of the week, spring is in sight.
