Had a great birdy day out in the hide yesterday and in particular there were quite a few woodies about. I saw all my residents including both male and female Downys, Hairys and Red-bellied. I'd not seen the Northern Flicker in a bit and was so pleased to see him back again. I was very happy with how long he stayed at the suet and got quite a few shots in before he flew off. Well then he came back again and stayed for quite a while again. I thought I had one hungry bird there!
Imagine my surprise when I opened the files later and realized that I had not one but two different Male Northern Flickers around. Now I just would love to see some girls!
I thought you'd like to see the comparison between the two different birds. I was quite surprised at the difference in the amount of red on the head as well as the beak shapes.
