[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 735936, member: 9240"] So the Flickers have been active but mainly just taking turns incubating. Sunday my wife saw one carry something out of the nest and she wasn't sure if it was a shell or something else, so yesterday afternoon I set it up again. Male and female rotated in and out and as they left they would always be carrying a poop sac (young birds excrete their poop in a sac that the parent will be able to remove from the nest; bluebirds do the same thing - I think it tends to occur in cavity nesters vs. those who nest openly in trees). So we have babies in the cavity. Probably another week or two before they start showing up at the hole.
