Northern Flicker

These guys are always a pleasure to see around. Unless they insist on pecking lamp posts, then they have a way of being somewhat irritating! Beautiful anyway!

Oh wow, he let you get close! I love watching flickers, but I am never able to get this close, and they don't dare get close to me. Great capture, so clear and sharp! Posted 8 years ago
