The Wind Beneath My Wings by vickisfotos

The Wind Beneath My Wings

Not the best of focus, but I loved how the wind was pushing at this guys feathers. He was hunkered down on the fence to keep warm.
What a pretty bird. Love the markings. Great shot, lady!

I agree with all the other comments. A wonderful capture of a beautiful bird. Love the red marking on it's face. What kind of bird is this?
February 2nd, 2014  
Love that flash of red under his chin Vicki...you have some great birds in the USA !

I don't know if this bird frequents our feeder so I looked it up. I believe it is a Gilded Flicker, but according to the chart I saw it only winters in Texas, California, Arizona and Mexico. So I am not sure.

Beautiful shot. Love the black spots on the wings.

A great and beautiful capture of this wonderful bird.
We do have some famous old fashion painters but also for modern art . I love both. I just look at the art at it`s own and ask myself : do I like it so much I want it to have it in my living room and share my life with it

This is such a beautiful bird and a wonderful photo. Like the position of the tree branches in the shot.

Love the detail you captured. We did not even see birds with the two days of pouring down rain and high winds here. I figured they had taken cover somewhere and will be out when the rain and winds stop. So cool that you got to see this bird.
