Flicker

Much to my surprise the other day, a Flicker showed up at the birdbath.  It was late afternoon and the lighting was very bad, but I zoomed and shot anyway.  I had to crop out most of the photo for this close-up look at his markings:

Here’s another view of him, too:

We use to see a few flickers passing through now and then when we lived in the house with all the trees around it. Haven't seen one in a long while now! (no big trees around us now).
