Northern Flicker

Today I while making breakfast I had my first solid sighting of a Northern flicker on my back patio. I wanted to see this bird in my viewfinder for years but have never had the opportunity. Mad rush to put my 150-600 on my 7DM2 and thinking it would be gone before I made it to the kitchen. I only had a few moments of him on the railing and through the patio door as dirty as it was. Low shutter and high iso but still I think it looks fine. Damn but that is a beautiful bird!! Now I want a decent shot of that bird even more. Yes I know lots of you guys consider this old hat but for me it was a pleasure to see.
