For the last week some bird has been hammering in one of our trees. There were wood chips all over the sidewalk in front of the house. He seems to have finished, and has been poking his head out. I caught him with my digital camera and see that he is a flicker. I wonder if he soon will be making the wild flicker noises as he tries to attract a mate.

Update: A flicker may have built it, but it appears that a starling has claimed it. I will not be fun watching the starlings come and go.

Great shots! I think you're right about the Downy. Sorry that pretty female (no mustache) red-shafted Flicker lost her home to starlings.
