Congratulations Bill Dix
Northern Flicker 2

D90; 80-400 VR @ 400mm. ISO 800. f/7.1 @ 1/640s. Matrix metering @ -0.3 EV. Cropped to vert; very slight crop off height.

Last week two male Northern Flickers showed up at my suet feeder, and have stuck around ever since. I captured one of them on Friday and posted it Sunday on Avian. That afternoon I captured the other male, presented here. I like this one better, although the tip of his tail disappears behind the trunk. Add this to the backyard bird series. C&C appreciated.

Thank you all for the kind comments. I really appreciate the honor. First IOTW is a great way to mark the end of my first year with BPN, during which I've learned a ton and gotten lots of wonderful advice. I'm looking forward to many more years with lots more to learn.
