Observasjonsdetaljer
*Witnessed two females viciously fighting over a stump with presumably some ants underneath. As I was about to leave, I noticed a female NOFL feeding by probing into the dirt next to a stump. A second female came and landed nearby, and after about 1-2 minutes of posturing at each other, a switch flipped and they fought aggressively. The fight lasted 3-5 seconds, and after reviewing the photos it seemed pretty one sided, with the defender driving away the challenger. The winning flicker grabbed the other by the feathers on the nape, and it looks pretty vicious in the photos. The loser flew to a nearby tree, and seemed physically fine, if a little shell-shocked. It rested for a good minute or two.
