Northern Flicker

Looking sharp as he contemplates another try at getting seed from the bird Feeder.

This northern Flicker was just a bit too heavy to stand on the collapsible perches on our feeder although it did not stop him from giving it a go. He had to constantly work by flapping his wings to stay on the perch and I am sure he was using as much energy as he was taking in. After a few short tries he must have thought the same as he moved on to looking for food in the trees.

Marking time

Another wonderful year of blogging has passed and we would like to thank you all out there for making it such a rewarding experience. Can’t wait to see what this year has in store and having the opportunity to share a few tidbits on this space.
