Northern Flicker taking flight. Seen at Veterans Oasis Park in Chandler Arizona. I love the salmon-colored underwings.
martins can perform amazing aerodynamics ! this little female is bringing in 'a bug' to the little ones regardless of her rudder problem....
No doubt, he's looking out for that cooper's hawk. This is probably my favorite bird, and to emphasize his wonderful colors, I took out the color of the background.
(This was taken through a window)

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.

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.
A special thanks EDV for the texture.
