The Lady in the Polka Dot Dress

Busy day today...this shot was taken in our back yard this weekend. This is a female Common or Northern Flicker. You can just see the underside of her yellow tail feathers. Her mate was around too, but he didn't appear on camera.

This is just excellent, I have a woodpecker on one of my albums, you can probably name him...the article on finches was great too!

Fabulous capture of a Flicker! Nice details.

What a beautifully clear shot - the detail is great and you've captured the shadings of the colors so well. I do love your captioning - so creative.

I have flickers around my yard, too, but I can't imagine ever capturing such a great photo of one of them.
