I spotted 2 Northern Flickers in our garden this morning. Exciting to have them reappear after an absence of a few months.

Is this my lucky day? The Northern Flicker has been to visit several times. Also the Steller’s Jay. And a hummingbird!

Courting Flickers March 25, 2015

There were two Flickers having a wonderful time flitting about in my garden this afternoon during a brief shower of rain. I took photos as fast as I could but only in the second photo can you actually see the female in the tree – if you enlarge the photo. I need a better camera and patience. The birds kept hopping about on the fence but I couldn’t catch that nor was I quick enough when they hopped on the railing of the steps going down to the garden.
