We got a bit of a cold snap and some sleet on Friday and the birds dropped some of their aversion to eating in a back yard patrolled by a known bird-killing cat. I just opened the window a little bit and was able to shoot in the cold without gloves or a coat. Pretty handy.

I'm unsure why a flicker would be interested in eating seeds. I thought woodpeckers ate bugs they found under the bark of trees.
