Male Flicker

This was the best shot I could get of this male flicker, because he was moving so quickly. Thanks so much for your visits and comments. I hope your day is special.

Beautiful light and focus!

I'd say you did an admirable job of it. I know how fast some birds can be. You got him nicely in focus. Bravo!

He's a beauty! Many years ago I rescued one hit by a car. As I was driving home it got it's strength back. When I got home it flew off as if nothing happened, and hung around for a while!

[Louise & Ken]

I wouldn't have guessed he was moving quickly! I envision you laying in the grass, just waiting for him to stroll by!

What a beautiful bird, I can see how it gets its name. Lovely focus, especially as he was moving so fast.

Beautiful! I've never seen a flicker in the flesh.

[Maggiemae]

He does have an interesting red flick on the side of his face but I guess its his tail that flicks?

@maggiemae I think the Flicker is related to the Wookpecker.
