Okay, dangit, I'm a bit jealous. There, I said it. We saw one flicker since moving here and he was WAY far away at the top of a very tall pole. Seriously though, these are absolutely splendid. I am happy you got such good shots. My day will come, I feel sure. :)
I love the Flickers. We have a family of them that come back every year and they do a lot of talking in the trees. I have pictures, but never have I noticed that the little spots on their belly are heart shaped ... that makes me love them even more. I assume there is no significance to that, but who couldn't love it :). Great pics as usual Brian.
Love so much that you are putting your setting on your pictures. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT! Really I need all the help I can get. As the bird goes holy moly. So cool. Great shots.
Wow, she is gorgeous Brian! We have the Red-shafted Northern Flicker here in abundance but I have never seen the eastern yellow-shafted variety. I have spotted intergrades of the two subspecies here but I would love to see the yellow-shafted Flicker up close and now, with your photos, I have! These are super!

Great shots there Brian. The flicker looks pretty content you are there snapping away.
Splendid birds - do you know why they are called "flickers"?
I dont think there are any dull bee-eaters - bright is the way they come!
