Crazy Flickers

We enjoy watching birds a great deal, and woodpeckers are some of our favorites.  However, we have a local Northern Flicker who is driving us crazy!

He seems to think that his reflection in our windows is a rival, and so he lands on a window every few minutes and pecks on the glass.  Imagine hearing a loud THUMP every 2-5 minutes, followed by pecking and scratching.  It has gotten old, fast...

The source of our troubles:
Northern Flicker
We've tried drawing the blinds but it isn't making much difference.  We may hang some survey tape or other visual distraction on the windows until this Flicker gets the hint.  Anyone else ever deal with this??
