It was Grand Central Station in our backyard today. At one time, there were four deer, two rabbits, a couple of squirrels and umpteen birds. Three flickers were taking turns at our log feeder, sharing it with a Downy Woodpecker and numerous chickadees and juncos. I felt a bit like Snow White minus the dwarves. (Maybe I should look at getting some garden gnomes). At a lull in the activity, this bird managed to get a quick snack. The others hadn't left him much but I think he managed to find something to his liking.
