Yup, for a few weeks in the spring male Flickers LOVE the aluminum housing on the street lights out front.
Male Pileated visited the wood power pole at my place regularly for the last 5-6 years, he never did find a mate. Sadly he didn't show this spring, he was replaced with a Hairy Pecker though, feisty little bugger.
