This kind gentleman at Eagle Bend Fish Hatchery approached me with a question
concerning woodpeckers nesting in the ground. Ernie Poore has a flicker in his
yard on a nest with five eggs in it. His question was or is "is this normal ?"
All my references state they nest telephone poles, tree cavaties and nest
boxes. No references to nesting in the ground.
If you have feed back , Ernie would love to hear from you. Cell #
865-274-8714. If you leave a message he will return your call. If you want to
see the nesting flicker, his address is 187 Buckwheat Lane , Lancing. TN
37770 . This is located in Morgan County close to the Obed River and Libby
Bridge area.
Bird On !!!!!!!!!!!!
