@idzie Thanks! yeah they are goofy. Cautious little ones, looking up constantly after digging around.

@miyotehew cautious for sure, I've accidentally flushed so many flickers when they saw me before I saw them 😭

But when that doesn't happen, and I can give them their space, I love watching them. Can't wait until they return in the spring!

@idzie @miyotehew I too love flickers, especially the distinctive flap and pause and flashes of color when they're flying away. I just wish they didn't spent 4 months out of the year hammering on the vent covers trying to get into our attic 😭

@esnyder @idzie Oh I love them too :) They seem semi tame around here..brave enough not to immediately fly away but still weary. I get a bit of a rush sneaking up on them hah 😅

@esnyder @miyotehew I have heard that complaint before lol
