Woodpeckers I: On 22 August, I was on the hill in Diefenbaker Park (Saskatoon) counting crows.At 6:00 p.m., on one or two nearby wooden power poles, were two flickers on top, a Downy Woodpecker below them and a young sapsucker about midway up.All but the downy stayed until 6:42, with the sapsucker flycatching periodically.As I drove away, I found that there were four more flickers on the far side of the pole.Woodpeckers II: On 29 August about 7:00 a.m., I counted nine flick¬ ers on a wooden power pole (and two on another) in Eagle Creek Re¬ gional Park, 45 km west of Saska¬
