Subject: [NHBirds] Flock of Northern Flickers - Nashua Mine Falls
Typically you find Norther Flickers as pairs or solitary. Yesterday 09/15,
I was delighted to encounter a "flock" of approximately 24 Flickers (that I
was able to count). They were foraging in a group on the Soifert Memorial
Fields in Mine Falls Park in Nashua. I knew that this was typical during
migration, but it was very cool to see that many Yellow-shafted Northern
Flickers at time.

I was coming out of the woods on a trail that enters onto the soccer field
and spotted a sizable group of birds (couldn't tell what they were at a
distance) and they spotted me at the same time and more than half of them
immediately burst into the air toward nearby trees. The other half were
still bounding around foraging. When they took flight and I could see all
the yellow under wings it was then that I knew they were all Northern
Flickers.

Here is link to a subpar photo I was able to get before the remainder took
flight.

Best,
