Red-shafed Northern Flicker high up in a tree at Willband Creek Park, Abbotsford, B.C. With the wind and rain, this was the best I could get for birds yesterday
The rain and wind paused and I headed outside with the 500mm. No, in full disclosure my husband carried the lens and tripod with the jobu/wimberly style lens holder. He worries that I’ll trip and drop the lens, punching another hole in the wall.
But this Northern Flicker kept turning his head and looking up; we had seen an eagle soar by leisurely several times. No other feathered creatures appeared after the Flicker flew.
So much for the sunny interlude and possible photos ;) I did carry my gear back by myself.
Thanks for looking. No comments necessary; thank you.
On the other hand, this is why I bought this camera.
These flickers were on the other side of the marsh.

I haven't been that active with postings. I saw this photo stashed away in one of my folders. This flicker was tailing a group of blue jays foraging in my backyard.
picking away at the bugs in our cedar shakes....the day had been rainy and then between the dark clouds the sun came out to light him up~~~ luckily I was gardening with my camera close by....is there any other way????

It's not often one of these will sit and pose for a cameo.
"Northern Flicker - Red-shafted
Northern Flicker, one of my all time favorite woodpeckers. They don't visit too often and when they do, it's apparent that the Red Bellied and the Flicker do not see eye to eye.
it was a treat to see this pair of northern flickers engaging in mating rituals. they were displaying to each other by fanning out their tails. He would change his posture and she would do a little dance from side to side. this image is part of the series of photos I took which started on this post and then moved on to a tree
It was fun to watch a couple of female Flickers work their way across the lawn. I expect they were just passing through as I haven't seen them since this day. I'm glad because the resident hawk would have loved them........
The plumage of male and female Northern Flickers is identical. Both of them have a U-shaped black patch on their breast feathers. Black bars are present on their wings, and they have black spots on their chest and belly. During a flight, there is a white patch located above the tail. The underside of their wings and tails has colored feathers, with yellow in the east and red in the west. The only noticeable difference is that the male has a ' mustache' or whisker on either side of its beak. This color is black in the east and red in the west. This facial marking is not present in females.

Just caught movement to the side, turned around and clicked just before he flew away. Perfect focus on the tree, not quite on the Flicker.

The Yellow-shafted Northern Flicker pair are very skittish but welcome visitors to my yard in Chester County, PA

Foraging on the ground which Flickers often do. Lots of Cottonwood fluff on the ground.

Time travels fast. It is been two years of our Paris adventure. Thank you very much to all of you for your extraordinary support during these days. Now we are searching for another extraordinary trip.
"I will fall with the rain
I will flicker with the flame
The fire
The fire
These are the marching orders
These are the rules that we break
These are the doubts we cling to
Tryin' to get more
Tryin' to get more..."
