This is another very shy bird. The first time I saw it today my camera was across the room; I was afraid if I moved it would fly. After the bird found a peanut it took it into the tree and then flew away.
\nI went and got my camera and looked for the tripod. Before I spotted it I realize the Flicker was back. So without the benefit of the tripod and through a window the sun was shining on, I took these photos.
\nThe Flicker is a messy eater (like the Downie woodpeckers) flinging seeds they don’t want to eat out till they find the ones they like. Other birds will happily pick up what’s left on the ground.<\/p>\n
