Northern Flickers, red-shafted, family (?)
This may be a family group: mother to left, father right, and daughter in the middle.
Regrettable image quality (shot diagonally through the dining room window, power pole 75 feet from the house), but the content is unusual enough to warrant keeping.
After posting this shot, I went back to check the circumstances. Turns out I was shooting through a double-glazed window at an angle of about 30 degrees. The fact the XQD card received anything at all is strictly a function of the Nikkor 300mm f4 PF (and 1.4 TC III) lens quality.
