    Flicker with a persimmon breakfast

    On an extremely cold morning, this hungry Norther Flicker discovered some of the persimmons on our tree were still edible. They say necessity is the mother of invention; in warmer weather, the flicker population didn't seem very interested in persimmons, but with sub-freezing temperatures...
