Hi Tweets,

This winter and spring we've been enjoying the visits of a male Northern
Flicker (Red-shafted) to the suet feeder in our backyard in the
Wallingford District of Seattle. It's a small feeder where the birds
(Bushtits too) need to hang upside down in order to feed. A couple of
Starlings use it occasionally but don't stay long. I believe they *don't
like* that position.

Well the other day I noticed 'Ferdinand' hanging upside down but not
moving. I think for a few minutes he fell asleep upside down! ;-)

Has anyone else observed birds sleeping in unusual positions?

Good birding,
