Breeding Season Already !?!?

Saw this northern Flicker dancing for his lady friend this afternoon and thought I'd share it. Wish I could get a little closer and better angle but I didn't want to disturb them since they looked so busy. lol!

You captured nice interaction. It is desirable to have a lower angle when possible and I may crop from both side to make this a vertical.

Interesting behavior captured. Adding to Fabs' comments, the bird look a bit dark. Did you dial in positive exposure compensation?
