Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and fav my images. Enjoy the day.
Today I while making breakfast I had my first solid sighting of a Northern flicker on my back patio. I wanted to see this bird in my viewfinder for years but have never had the opportunity. Mad rush to put my 150-600 on my 7DM2 and thinking it would be gone before I made it to the kitchen. I only had a few moments of him on the railing and through the patio door as dirty as it was. Low shutter and high iso but still I think it looks fine. Damn but that is a beautiful bird!! Now I want a decent shot of that bird even more. Yes I know lots of you guys consider this old hat but for me it was a pleasure to see.
A Flicker visited our suet bird feeder - such a magnificent bird!
Still a bit of suet on the tip of it's beak!
with his 'red wing' tips we know he's a mature bird over two...I've also seen those beautiful Bohemian waxwings but never had chance to photograph them...

Thank you for taking a look at my images. It is very much appreciated.
This female Northern Flicker was foraging on the ground for ants, rather like the ones crawling all over my feet and legs as I took this shot!
Taken in Florida.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
This one appears to be an intergrade flicker with both black malar (moustache cheek) and the orange-red patch on the back of the head!
Although I am not a birder, I do love to see and watch birds. We tried to make this area one that birds—and Flickers—would continue to like. That's a snag I dragged home and my husband made it stand upright for birds.
The bokeh background comes naturally from the recent fog and dew on trees we had planted seven years ago.
