I love all the brown tones in this image, David. An excellent head turn and it’s interesting to see one so puffed out. I’m used to thinking of them as long and lean.

Terrific composition, detail, and color, though the Flickers I see around here aren’t nearly this brown. Well done.

You are getting some incredible shots and this is another one. Well done.

Wonderful IQ as always! Interesting that he (she?) seems to grow out of the tree. Striking coloration on the forehead – a youngster?

Hi David, nice setting for this image with complimentary colors all around. The red on the head stands out nicely from the browns and attracts my attention to where it should go. Nice details and background. A fine image.

Hi David
Nice looking Northern Flicker, There is a nice color spectrum of browns and reds, the head turn with great eye contact makes the photograph stand out.

One of my favorite birds, David. Well done.
