Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Flicker

After a morning walk at Votier's Flats this morning, I decided to drive to the eastern end of Fish Creek Park and check on "my" Great Horned Owls (could only find one of them today) and try and get a few Chickadee photos - I know, Doug and Phil, I don't NEED any more : ). While I was sitting on a low log, focusing on a higher log, this beautiful Northern Flickr flew down to the end of the log. The light is almost always bad in this area, but I did manage to get a few OK shots.

This photo is perhaps a little misleading, as this beautiful Northern Flickr was hard at work making a cavity in the tree trunk. This resulted in most of my captures having a very blurry head - oh, the joys of trying to photograph Woodpeckers, of any kind : ) Photographed this beauty down at Sikome, Fish Creek Park, on April 26th. Quite a dark little spot, in amongst the trees. Good morning, Jim (Garnite) and Linda! Hope you had a restful night (both of you) and that Jim's body was able to rest and grow a little stronger, ready for that wonderful moment when he will wake up and open his eyes. So many people are waiting for this good news! Thinking of you both!
