Northern Flicker
There has been a family group of flickers raucously fighting for goodies around the phone pole at work; they chase each other off the pole, then off the ground, then around the tree, and on and on. I caught few poses for very long, but was able to pull this one together a bit more because he (red whiskers = male) stayed on the ground a bit longer, looking, probing…
The ground is rock hard. We’re all hoping for rain…

I’ve been hearing one in our neighborhood just in the last week, week-and-a-half. Winter change of shift!
