Gotcha.....




 
IN MY RECENT posting the other day, I mentioned seeing the Northern Flicker hanging up-side-down from one of our small bird feeders.  Only I didn't have the camera nearby to catch him. 

Fortunately yesterday, when I heard the now familiar whistle and my glance out the window confirmed he was indeed out there, I was ready for him.

Hanging by a toenail, happily poking out his share of the seeds, he seemed mindless of any shadow or movement my camera and I might have made.

We were delighted to catch his pose... and we love that he considers our yard a regular stopover now!

  6. What a pretty fellow! I don't believe I've ever seen one before. If you don't mind my asking, what state do you live in? I'm curious about the habitat.
