I am new to this but have two northern red flickers nesting in a tree close to our deck in the back yard, very fascinating watching them. Would love to learn more about their behavior and patterns etc. I live close to the Rocky Mountains in Alberta.

Hi there and a warm welcome to you from those of us on staff here at BirdForum :t:

We’re glad you found us and please join in wherever you like

I love the Flickers and it's important that you don't go too close to the nest as the parents will desert the eggs.

Here's a link to our Opus page on the Flicker. Enjoy

It is a bit overwhelming at first but I promise you it does get easier

Your best bet is to click on the "Forums" tab in the upper left hand corner of each page and just scroll down to see all the sub-forums and then you can start investigating them

Hello Kathland,
And another welcome to the BirdForum. You sure are in a great location for birdwatching!
We really enjoyed the Beaver Boardwalk when we visited.
