The male Yellow-shafted Northern Flicker
flew to the back Ash tree.
He is a large woodpecker who eats beetles and ants.
I hope he returns. We have plenty of ants and beetles.

Wow he is handsome! I do love looking at your birds. Their colours are so brilliant. Great pics as always. (Any news of the comp yet?)
What a stunning bird the Northern Flicker is!
Dear Chris,
I was sitting on the floor by the back door changing the lens on the camera when I saw the Flicker fly in. I have the screen in the bottom half of the door so I just took these pics right through the screen! Had I stood up I might have been able to get even better pics through the glass, but I was concerned the Flicker would fly! Fingers crossed the Flicker returns when I am outside.
I have not heard about the photo contest. They had over 4,000 photos sent in and the few I looked at are impressive! I will check and see if any of mine even made it to the gallery.
I love posting photos for "Corner". Your kindness is reassuring. Birds and bugs are not always easy to photograph. They just do not respond to my ideas on what would be a great shot.
Thanks for enjoying the pictures.
Sherry
Dear Deb,
He is stunning!!!
Eats beetles too and ants. My kind of bird. I keep hoping to meet the bird that likes Squash Bugs. Every year I seem to have a huge crop of them.
The Flicker's range does extend into Eastern Canada. Do they visit your area?
