I have had a Flicker, a downy and a male hairy woodpecker regularly
visiting my feeders many times daily for the past couple of months. The
hairy has just in the past few days been joined by a female and,
yesterday for the first time, I heard drumming at a nearby telegraph pole!

While outside briefly today at 8:50 am, to replenish
shortening, I heard two woodpeckers; one drumming vigorously on a
sounding branch and a second replying all repeated twice. [All in
about two minutes because I had only indoor clothing on.]

Do woodpeckers begin to pair up this early ? Also I have
noticed that our Hairy WP always fly away in the same direction
and wonder if they shelter overwinter in nesting cavities
<br>
I have seen the Flicker coming for shortening six times so far
this winter, as opposed to a cumulative sum of zero in previous
winters; always facing away so am not sure about sex.
