This male northern flicker is keeping an eye on me, as I try to sneak up on him. I see him around everyday, as he and his mate are building a nest in the old tree our clothesline is connected to, right beside our deck. I have been able to get up to 3 feet from the female before she flies away, but on that occasion I did not have my camera at the ready. Maybe next time. :)
PS: do you like the new little leaves in the trees?
