Northern Flicker Female Feeding Ready To Fledge Chick

They grow fast and this large baby Northern Flicker was the largest and first of four that fledged out of their nest cavity!! They grow so fast and go from egg to flying in about 21 days, but are still dependent on the adults for food ! The next day after this image was taken we watched both parents coax this baby to fly for the first time!! Talk about fast flying lessons, you could see the concerned look on the baby!!! Thanks for looking and we will see you on Wednesday and as always thanks for your comments!!
