Flicker Friday
20160408-_DSC1583
For the second Friday in a row am posting a northern flicker photo. Once you recognize and identify a bird you start seeing more of them, and I am now seeing flickers every day. Yesterday observed four flickers, and this morning saw five of them.
Extra: The northern flicker extra shows where you really need to look for flickers, which is on the ground digging in the dirt for insects. From a distance you may think a flicker is an American robin, but a closer look is warranted.
Despite the rain/snow mix today was able to take a number of good photos. The second extra is a savannah sparrow. I've been having a difficult time correctly identifying sparrows, but this sparrow has a yellow spot above the eye which is ever so helpful.
