Flicker Every Click

...I set out to capture one of four or five Northern Flickers in flight this morning, but only partially caught the vibrant hues as one took flight. Missed the eye, but caught a beak.
My goal will be to see those bright under-feathers of the wings open as one of these beauties flies toward me. Despite wind and rain.
Didn't have time to set aperture to f/8 or f/10. Darn. But she or he looks vivid, eh? We do love to watch these woodpeckers.
NB. No enhanced saturation or vibrancy. Just a tad bit of contrast.

Thank you for taking a look!

The flicker burning
You know the time is runnin', runnin' out
Only I see
Oh, the diamonds, diamonds breakin' down
I won't stay quiet, I won't stay quiet
'Cause stayin' silent's the same as dyin'
I won't stay quiet, the flicker's burnin' low
This is not a, this is not a
Swan, swan song
This is not a, this is not a
Swan, swan song
We just gotta, we just gotta hold on tonight
This is not a, this is not a swan song, swan song
Swan dive
Yeah, it's a new life

Repost the photo with background removed suggested by a fellow Flicker photographer. Comments and critiques are always welcome.
American Falls Reservoir, Idaho
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.
Flakes of sky drift beyond
the window, neither falling nor rising, just drifting, without
purpose, unlike the willow beside the garage which gathers in
the white, reconstituted river. the dairy stepvan in the alley
with bottles and cartons waiting under blankets of crushed ice
holds up its windows for more frosting. The snow will go on
for months, laying down its law of excess, creating fields and
lakes where none exist, perpetuating itself from the air
where it feasts, where cold is as pure and transforming as fire,
and in its blind snuggery deep down, the small pilot
light of imagination continues to flicker, also waiting for
the sky to clear, the temperature to drop, the switch to click on.

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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You get just a hint of the bright yellow on the tail feathers.
In the Oklahoma Cross Timbers, the northern flicker becomes a bright splash of color against winter’s muted palette. Likely you will hear him before you see him—the sharp klee‑yer call echoing through the oak woods, steady drumming on a hollow limb.
When he glides into view, those golden underwings flash like sunlight breaking through the cold. He works the leaf litter for ants, hops along mossy logs, and clings to rough bark with quiet determination. In a season when the woods feel still and spare, the flicker reminds us that color, rhythm, and wild persistence remain woven into every fiber of this ancient forest edge.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.
A second family of Northern Flickers has been showing up at the suet feeder. These are even younger than the first three, as they have none of the adult colouring at all yet. The father tried to show them how to feed from the suet, but they were only interested in getting him to feed them. There's a video here that shows what he has to contend with.

On the side of the trail last week, as I neared home following my walk to the park, this Northern Flicker, hungry enough to not mind my presence.

A bathtub blind shot from December 2021.
This Flicker shot was my favorite of a series in terms of the setting on my deck rail and the coating of snow on the rock. I did not post it because the focus on the head was not very good. I posted a sharper shot, but it was not as pleasing in terms of composition.
I have new tools since 2021, so I decided to rework the raw file. If you zoom in, you will see the focus on the head is not perfect, but it is much better than my original processed shot.
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. :-)
The island breathes in autumn hush —
lanterns flicker, waves hum softly,
and whispers travel between the trees.
They say kind souls have wandered through the mist,
leaving traces of their magic behind —
tiny gifts, hidden in pumpkins glowing with secrets.
If your heart is curious and your steps are gentle,
Pususaari may share her treasures with you.
