Field flicker - European starling

Green-barred Woodpecker

On September, 30th we found a field flicker building a nest in a tipu tree of the sidewalk. The field flicker is not as common as the green-barred woodpecker, so to find it nesting was joy. For one reason or another I returned today. I tought it would be feeding the chicks already. Instead, there was a European starling feeding a chick.
