Day 36 Birdhouse Nest Box Live Camera Highlights

Red-headed flickers, a type of woodpecker, can pose significant threats to tree swallows during the nesting process. These aggressive birds often target nest cavities, either to claim them for their own use or to feed on the eggs and nestlings inside. With their powerful beaks, flickers can enlarge entrance holes to access tree swallow nests, putting the swallows and their offspring at risk. Tree swallows, despite their agility and group defense behaviors, may struggle to fend off determined flickers. The presence of flickers near nesting sites can lead to the loss of eggs, chicks, or even the abandonment of the nest if the threat persists. This competition for nesting spaces highlights the challenges tree swallows face in maintaining safe breeding grounds.
