My What A Long Beak You Have

I am so happy that Teresa spotted this Northern Flicker. I would have walked passed him without noticing. I am really thankful she enjoys hiking and photography as much as I do ... I hate to think of how many great photos would be missed without her great eye.

As for this flicker, he's looking thin.

Can’t Hide

It has been a while since we saw a Northern Flicker. We usually see a few over the winter months but not this year. Sadly I did not get a great photo of this one. He was not able to hide.

In the same area we could hear a Carolina Wren. We looked all over but could not locate her. I really wanted that photo, but it did not happen. Soon!!

Made For Working On Wood

The Northern Flicker is a very cool bird. This is a ‘medium size woodpecker’ with great colors! One look at that beak and you know its made to work on wood.

As you walk through the woods next time, listen close .. during nesting season they call out: “Peah”. (Sorry, best I can do).

Air Out

It was early in the morning and it appears this Northern Flicker was drying out. I love photographing this species. They are really cool.

Northern Flicker

IMG_0668.JPG

While hiking along the banks of the Miami River this week, I saw a larger bird fly into the tree line. I lost it in the trees. I kept looking, but just could not find her. A few minutes of walking later, we headed back the other direction. As we returned to the spot where I lost this bird, I saw something move. There she was .. A Northern Flicker. She just sit there long enough for me to take this photo.
