It is interesting to see the female Northern Flicker with two adult males. Female Northern Flickers are normally socially monogamous, but about 5% of females take on two male mates simultaneously. In these rare cases, the female will establish two separate nests with the two different males and lay a clutch of eggs in each. We don't know if this the case here, but it very well might be.
For more information about this unusual behavior go to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Flicker Life History.
