If they say

Who cares if one more light goes out?

In the sky of a million stars

It flickers, flickers

Who cares when someone's time runs out?

If a moment is all we are

We're quicker, quicker

Who cares if one more light goes out?

Well I do

Wikipedia: The northern flicker or common flicker (Colaptes auratus) is a medium-sized bird of the woodpecker family. It is native to most of North America, parts of Central America, Cuba, and the Cayman Islands, and is one of the few woodpecker species that migrate. Over 100 common names for the northern flicker are known, including yellowhammer (not to be confused with the Eurasian yellowhammer, Emberiza citrinella), clape, gaffer woodpecker, harry-wicket, heigh-ho, wake-up, walk-up, wick-up, yarrup, and gawker bird. Many of these names derive from attempts to imitate some of its calls. It is the state bird of Alabama.

 

Conservation status: Least Concern

A female Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus) in the Norway Maple tree in our yard.

....momentarily airborne before it dives for the feeders. In the background are autumn maple leaves on the October Glory Maple, or Acer rubrum. I had hoped to catch the flicker against that background.

 

Hadn't truly known how lovely October could look.

Pica-pau-do-campo (Colaptes campestris), male.

Animal in wildlife.

This handsome Flicker was working over this burned, rotten tree stump. Must be some juicy insects in there.

Thank you for viewing, faving or commenting on my images, have a great day!

 

Notice! My faithful 200-500mm lens of 11 years has finally bit the dust for consistency, so my wildlife posts will be severely hampered

Handsome Flicker woodpecker was kind enough to let me take a few photos so here is one of them!

Very active and loud at my local conservation area, there are atleast four or five breeding pairs which make the woods a very active place!
