Flicker

That's a Beak! The flickers are so interesting to watch.
Actually, all the birds are, but you gotta love the flicker's accurate sense of dominance.


He looked as though he was giving me the 'eye' - maybe doesn't like having his picture taken...

Busy feeder

A flicker is one of the few birds that the starlings won't bother at the feeder. With that beak, we're not really surprised.

Now THAT'S a beak!

This flicker sat on the fence and posed for my husband for quite a while. Think maybe he's a little proud of that beak? He is cute, and part of what seems to be a family group that come to visit fairly often. The last shot looks as though he's getting a little huffy about it all.
Couldn't resist posting a couple of shots of him, though.
