This northern flicker repeatedly brought food to the chicks in the nest............... Too bad there was such a busy background.....

Nice work Karen….! I can see a little one in the nest hole..waiting..

Nice one, Karen. The BG isn't ideal but certainly not a killer.

Bird is beautiful enough I didn't notice the BG until you mentioned it :) Nice shot.


Thanks so much for commenting, Larry, Dan and Steven! It was the first time I had seen and been able to photograph a flicker. I spent several hours enjoying the experience.

I see (more like hear) them often but they refuse to come down from the stratosphere heights of the trees for me; well, unless I don't have my camera and then I used to routinely see them feeding on the ground LOL
 
Nice! The BG can be fixed easily, if you want to. The image calls for it and you want it ;) 😇
Thanks, Callie. I blurred the background a bit....but left it as is since it does indicate the habitat of the flicker - and the composition and quality of the BIF doesn't warrant IMHO trying to make the image "more" than it is! LOL!
