I was pleased to find a pair of flickers on a tree at Westwood Hills =
Nature Center (St. Louis Park, Hennepin Co.) However, I saw the duo =
swaying their heads from side-to-side less than a foot away from each =
other while uttering their "close contact" calls. Is this just a mere =
greeting or is it a mating pair display? Has anyone else witnessed this?
Yellowthroats are very numerous, as well as the Marsh Wrens. I heard =
a single Swamp Sparrow, as well as the E. Wood-Pewee. The G-C =
Flycatchers that were nesting near the building fledged last week as I =
enjoyed watching the parents feed their young from a yard away. I also =
saw a female R-B Woodpecker checking out a drilled-through branch. Good =
birding!
