Greta details Vicki of a super bird. Well captured. Thanks for the comments re "The Family" the other day Vicki. It's nice to know there are friendly peeps out there.

Brilliant close-up of this fabulous flicker showing marvelous feather detail, colors, focus, lighting, pose, and background. Exceptional Vicki!!!
 
Handsome he is. Like the turn of it's head, great pose. Well done Vick :D
 
Gotta love the markings and colours on these birds...Cracking close-up Vicki!!!
 
We have northern flickers around here, but I never see them till I scare them away! Great job spotting and capturing this one. A gorgeous shot of this bird!
