A Flicker, A Blast of Winter Color


     I have a short section of log that I drilled some holes in which I hung on a tree, and fill with peanut butter every morning.  All of the local birds love the peanut butter, especially the woodpeckers.  A few days ago, there was a beautifully colored Flicker that came for some peanut butter.

    Flickers are certainly a distinct and visually striking bird, and I was happy that even though it saw me through the window, it hung around long enough for me to take the photo above.   I really like those orange tail feathers and the polka dot chest.
