I saw a raven last week!  This week there are Flickers - everywhere!

These two guys spent several minutes "woaka-woakaing" and bobbing their heads up and down.  

Originally I'd thought it might be a father and son...

...but there was never any wing fluttering or begging.

I think the bird on the right looks to be a bit bigger.

It was interesting to watch them and their 'discussion'.

It ended with both birds flying off in different directions.

This seed cylinder is attractive to both Hairy Woodpeckers...

...and Flickers.

The Flickers are very photogenic.

This shot does a nice job showing off the orange tail feathers.

  3. Wow! What striking birds! The colors are fantastic. The red on their faces almost look like jowls.
