Female Flickers

This is the rabbit motif from "The Hare and the Basket" a 1996 sampler designed by Jean Farish Huls for the Spirit of Cross Stitch Festival.  I thought rabbit charming and was not up to the challenge of stitching the entire (large) sampler.  So this way, instant bunny gratification!

Bad photo shot through the kitchen window - but hey, it's THREE Flickers!

All the rest of the photos are of female Flickers,

which is funny as I generally feels that I see / have far more males than females.

And yes, the males have already begun their spring drumming on the metal flashings on the roof.
