Here is my little buddy. He is a little shy - I took several dozen pics with both cameras but he is SO fidgety. I will post a close up in my Flora and Fauna album.
@chard - Thanks Chard. Isn't he gorgeous? @bristolrose - Thanks Kathryn! @maggiemae - Thanks - and yes - that tail is something else. @sansjuan - oh yes Nita. We feed them year round - we keep several feeders full and I also buy the suet and stackable seed cakes. If you have a Wild Birds Unlimited near you, check them out. We also live in the country and keep our property pretty natural so they have habitat for nesting and hiding.
@cookie123@elaine55@elaine55@rhos - Thanks so much, ladies. I am thrilled he is here - we had last seen the flickers several years ago. Have to keep the suet feeders full.....
@foxsparrow - Thanks Ann. This is a recent development - and today I found a woodpecker suet feeder - it has a rest for the tail. I also trimmed some of the overhanging branches to make it easier to take pics from the house. Oh and hubby cleaned the window - that should help, too. :-)
I do all my bird shots through windows.....As long as you don't use flash, I think they turn out okay.
@joannbayne - Thanks Jo and I love that omen.
@bristolrose - Thanks Kathryn!
