He sure is a handsome chap and a multitasker too. Searching for food and keeping a close eye on you at the same time. Great low camera view close-up of this handsome flicker Ken. TFS!

Oh, the Flicker is so striking and distinguished in his own right. Stunning Woodpecker and please post more of these. They are so beautiful.
