Renegade Flickers Roost in the Guest Room

Yesterday I painted G's office--2 accent walls--one in a golden Sahara Sands, the other in a pumpkin "Acorn Spice".  He says he's not sure about the pumpkin wall, but I say stick with it and Happy Thanksgiving.  Also had a golf lesson.  Can you believe this?  Several times I did it...used the whole new golf swing and went right under the ball, so it landed back on the rubber tee.  Remarkable.  I actually hit better last week when I brought the junior clubs by mistake.  

Went into the beautiful, perfectly preserved guest room yesterday and surprised a couple of flickers, who went beserk.  Now there's a bunch of bird poop to clean up from them careening around.  They had found the perfect room to build their nest, and I ruined it.  One of them wouldn't vacate till Hayley took Eddie up the ladder to bark at it.  To the left is a picture of the hole they made in the wall, and of what a flicker is.  They're almost the size of pidgeons for ya'll who are city dwellers.
