Northern Flicker

Why is Superman’s costume so tight?

Because he wears a size “S”.

Interesting Fact: Like most woodpeckers, Northern Flickers drum on objects as a form of communication and territory defense. In such cases, the object is to make as loud a noise as possible, and that’s why woodpeckers sometimes drum on metal objects. One Northern Flicker in Wyoming could be heard drumming on an abandoned tractor from a half-mile away. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Flicker/lifehistory )

    The feathers of a flicker are so beautiful. One of my favorite birds.

      Hehehe it would be interesting if they would. But the way they are made they don’t even feel any of that drumming. Thank you very much for stopping by and checking out my post. Happy Blogging! 🙂
