Flickers, in my backyard..

[Louis champan]

During this time of year my backyard draws a number of different Woodpeckers and their young. This particular Flicker comes has come to my backyard every day for the past few weeks.

Wow, excellent set Louis. I get a Flicker or two in late Winter and only for a couple of days. Didn't have one this year though.

These are great! I have like 4-5 in my backyard but I find them to be incredibly skittish, even from my car (mobile blind).

Killer color

Thanks Charles.

LUCKY YOU! Nice in-flight positions and the backgrounds are pretty good. Recently I found a flicker nest along a road in BC. I stood there a long time trying to get flight shots. I got 2 in-flight shots, but the backgrounds were terrible.

Super shots Louie, love them all!

Thanks very much Rick. I'm very fortunate to have them visit my backyard every single day.

The third one is my favorite. I was in the park the other morning getting some shots of these but they were no where close to the quality of these! mad props!

Thanks very much, and I would agree they are extremely skittish, I sit a long time before they will fly in and stay around for a bit.

Appreciate it Karen, I guess I'm lucky to have these guys in my backyard everyday.

Super shots Louie, love them all!

Many thanks Ira.

Thanks for commenting. I live up against a greenbelt so I'm fortunate to have some natural looking backdrops.

Really nice set of shots Louis, I love flickers they are by far my favourite woodpecker species, they really are skittish birds and rarely let you get anywhere near them. I love capturing them in flight with their wings extended to capture their amazing wing colour and pattern. We have the yellow-shafted versions here in my area.
