@Mauve_matelot I always considered birb to refer to the small round ones but that is not a hill I will die on.
@jeffreyw Fair enough, until I came on to Coso, I didn't even know birb was even an option.
As a British Cosonaut, I have learned alot
@jeffreyw Wow! Your flickers have a far more psychedelic than the ones we have here on the high plains of Colorado.
@jeffreyw Beautiful photo. I'm new to the birding world. What kind of bird is this?
@IrascibleOldMan That's a Northern Flicker. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Flicker/overview
@jeffreyw Thanks. We have northern flickers here (north central Colorado). I guess I've never seen them in that light. They and the jays are very attracted to the suet blocks I put out.
For all I spend on birdseed, I should be raising chickens.
aw I love Flickers. Every time I hear one I yell FLICKER! like I'm excited to see an old friend.
@jeffreyw we have some folks using #birb for all the fabulous feather friends who arrive in our garden/yard
