Northern Flicker



This morning while I was in Jackson, I was treated to a pair of these guys, Northern Flickers. I must admit that when I first saw them, I got excited at the prospect of a new woodpecker. I don't think I had ever had such a good view of them! I watched them for several minutes in the top of a tree. They were soon joined by a Starling, and they all chatted for a few minutes before the Flickers flew off.

I also saw a Black-Capped Chickadee a few minutes ago. We were told they don't have them here. Well, there ya go!
