Northern Flicker Nest Box
The flicker is a common woodpecker, distinguished by its
yellow tail feathers and red patch on the back of the head
and neck. They nest in wooded areas and in town. Flickers
are excavators and are more likely to use a nest box if it is
completely filled and packed with sawdust. This simulates
a dead tree with a rotting inside.
Boxes should be attached to a post and placed 4-6 ft.
high. A 1-1/2" thick rough-cut cedar material is preferred.
