I'm afraid I'll sound like a country bumpkin for asking this, but are
flickers common city birds? I haven't lived in city for several years, and when I did
live there, I didn't pay much attention to birds. Where I've seen flickers,
it's always been fairly rural, and they've always seemed very shy, so a friend
and I were surprised to meet a brave, small one yesterday, on a sidewalk of a
residential neighborhood on Capitol Hill.
By the way, this flicker meeting occurred as we were walking to our next film
in the Seattle International Film Festival, where, incidentally, the bird
movie Winged Migration will be screening in June. (Details:
http://www.seattlefilm.com/siff/films/film_detail.asp?filmid=254) The Film Festival is using Winged
Migration to replace two screenings of a film that was canceled, so you may
not have seen it mentioned in early SIFF guides. (Winged Migration opens at the
Egyptian in Seattle June 20, and will play on Bainbridge Island and elsewhere
too.)
