Flicker

[kramp]

At first the Flickers were very shy, any movement through the window and they were gone, but now if the suet feeder runs empty I get the look.

Nice shot, Martin! He does seem to have a frustrated look on his face.

I've observed the same behavior in ducks and geese at the local pond. At first, they are very skittish, then when they find out you have food, they will follow you anywhere. I've even had them come up and peck my feet if I don't feed them quickly enough. 8)

Very nice shot.

Hey Martin, Flickers are very handsome birds, I only wish I was able to see more than just a couple a year around my homestead. Good capture.

Hi Pete, the flickers have been coming very regularly all winter, hard to get a good picture of them though.

Thanks for looking.

Nice shot Martin. I see one flying around our neighbourhood, but he won't stay still for very long and he's usually on a rooftop which doesn't make for a very interesting shot. Maybe I should put in a bird bath. Here in sunny Kamloops it would be a big attraction I think.

Thanks Dennis, I spent months spoiling them with suet and peanut butter cake that I make, its taken a long time for them to get used to us.

Hi Martin

Nice shot of the female. I find the males to be just a bit tougher to approach.

BTW, where do you live on the Island? I am in Nanaimo.

Thanks Rory, I am up in Black Creek just down the road from Miracle Beach Park.
