We had nothing like Gustav over the weekend but we did have wind and driving rain. We had so much wind that my poor decrepit feeder repaired with duct tape finally disintegrated when it was blown from its stand. I have replaced it by a smaller feeder for now but I will retrieve a better feeder on a sturdy post from my other property once the weather improves.
This morning I saw a Northern Flicker exploring the lawn. Maybe the rain makes the lawn a better picking ground for insects or perhaps the Flicker even eats worms. I don't really know. The flicker is a very attractive bird and the only woodpecker I gather that is a ground feeder.
