"Close your eyes
Come with me
Only love is alive
Headlights on the parade
Light up the way
I love you
Only love will survive
The city wins while you and I
Can't find a way"
A male Norther Flicker (Red-shafted), landed on one of our large rocks! He then flew to our Peanut Suet feeding station. The Flickers are one of my favorite Woodpeckers. Photo taken in our backyard in Camas, Washington.
A migrating male yellow-shafted or maybe mixed red and yellow shafted northern flicker gives me a bit of an awkward pose. Other than starlings, grackles, and egrets, I haven't seen a lot of migrating birds this fall, perhaps because we've had such a warm October, especially at night.
I was having lunch and a visitor showed up... Needless to say I ran for the camera...This is only the 3rd time I have seen them and one of the times I couldn't get the camera from the office quick enough...:-(
I've brought this photo forward to try to get an explanation of something weird going on on Flickr. As you can see, the photo was taken almost 6 1/2 years ago, and originally uploaded at that time. It is shown in the presentation style I was using at that time. The photo was of limited interest...received 27 comments, 6 faves, and perhaps a hundred views.
And then dropped off the edge of the world. Until recently. In the last more than a month the photo has been receiving 150-200 views per day...OFTEN MORE. You can see that it has accumulated almost twelve thousand total views...and on more than half of the days in the last month it has been my photo most viewed on those days!
There is nothing anywhere to indicate why that is happening. ALL of the views are coming from Flickr, and not outside locations., The title is short and non-deceptive. There are only four tags, and one of them is a photo file number. The original description is one short sentence -- NOT crammed with keywords or anything. You can see it below.
The question is...after more than six years of 100% indifference, why is this photo now getting hundreds of views each day. And NO...it was not in Explore at any time.
Tis a PUZZLEMENT. Original description below.

A family gathering of Flickers. First there was one followed singly by two others. They would animatedly "talk" to each other then turn stock still. This process would repeat it self many times during the following 10 minutes before I left. I've never seen anything quite like it.
There were three Flickers chasing each other through the trees out front. This one landed down in the next door neighbors lawn and had a snack in between the games. :-)
As you can see there is a pecking order even in birds... The Flicker is larger so the little Starling has to wait for the larger bird to finish before it can have a chance at the feeder... This shot was taken from my kitchen window, last winter !!!
Excerpt from www.teamlab.art/ew/resonating_microcosms_mossgarden_plane...:
Moss Garden of Resonating Microcosms - Solidified Light Color, Dusk to Dawn
Ovoids that change appearance with the sunrise and sunset are laid out in the moss garden.
With sunrise, the ovoids begin to reflect the world around them. When pushed down by a person or blown by the wind, the ovoid falls back and then rises, releasing a resonating tone. The ovoids around it also respond one after another, continuing to resonate with the same tone.
As the sun sets, the ovoids shine by themselves. When an ovoid is pushed by a person or blown by the wind, it shines brightly and emits a sound tone, as it rights itself. The ovoids around it also respond one after another, emitting the same light color and sound tone that continues to resonate out.
The space of the work is interactively transformed under the influence of the wind, rain, and the behavior of the people in the space, making the environment and the people a part of the work. When the wind is quiet and people are still, the ovoids begin to flicker slowly.
teamLab is experimenting with the concept of color. The ovoids can change into a total of 61 newly-defined Solidified Light Colors.
It is said that mosses were the first terrestrial organisms to appear in a world of rocks and sand, where there was no life on land yet. As mosses and ferns appeared and forests were created, a variety of animals became able to live on land.
Since water inside cells is essential for living things, if the body lacks water, it will die. Mosses, on the other hand, are poikilohydric, meaning the water content in the cells change according to surrounding humidity levels. So moss will not die during long dry periods, and they come back to life when given water. Because mosses are poikilohydric, their color and shape change dramatically when the air is dry versus when it is wet, such as when there is rain or fog.
Tardigrades, which live in moss, also go into a non-metabolic state of dormancy when the surrounding environment becomes dry, but they revive and become active when there is water. The state that tardigrades enter, when they are neither living nor dead, is called cryptobiosis. This may cause us to consider what it means to be alive.
Northern Flicker.....
With thorns in its chest,
Looking out of it's Saguaro Cactus nest.
My backyard. No crop. No post processing. Full frame.
The Gilded Flicker (Colaptes chrysoides) is a large-sized woodpecker (mean length of 29 cm (11 in)) of the Sonoran, Yuma, and eastern Desert regions of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico including all of the Baja Peninsula except the extreme northwestern region. Golden yellow under wings distinguish the gilded flicker from the northern flicker found within the same region, which have red under wings. Wikipedia
This beautiful Gilded Flicker was flying around Golden Valley Arizona.
I took advantage of a sunny morning today and drove out to Montana de Oro. I parked by the Ranch House and was sitting and sipping my coffee when I noticed two birds chasing each other around. That got my attention! I quickly got out my camera and tried to capture the action. They flew up several times in a very aggressive manner.
