Northern Flicker takeoff
Young male (red moustache) suddenly appeared. Joy! And departed.
Still practicing placing my left hand on the lens. Lens and camera mounted on Jobu-Design gimbal head or swing-head or tripod-head on heavy duty tripod. Taking advantage of a spot of sun, although not from the best angle.
But so fun!
"Northern Flickers [woodpeckers] don’t habitually visit bird feeders, but you can find them in backyards and at bird baths. If your backyard has a mixture of trees and open ground, or if it’s near woods, you may find Northern Flickers simply by walking around the wooded edges."
