Good night everyone! Must be up early. Hope you all have a great evening. Or whatever time it is where you are.
Here's a Northern Flicker I photographed. This is as close as I ever got to one. They did not want to come near.

@poemblaze The colours and pattern made on that bird with the feathers is really interesting! Great camo among that foliage too!
@ChillySnowgirl Usually the red is brighter, but it wasn't great lighting.
@poemblaze So might that be a female one then? Females usually have less jazzy colours than the males in birdland.
@ChillySnowgirl Possibly. They're harder to tell apart than some species. https://birdfact.com/articles/female-northern-flickers
@ChillySnowgirl Yes. It's female.
@poemblaze cool! 🙂
@poemblaze We put up tin to keep them from pecking into the house...found holes in the tin the next morning.
@poemblaze Goodnight, friend!
@poemblaze They really fade into their surroundings. It's kind of like trying to photograph a brown thrasher.
@poemblaze sweet dreams 😊
