It's not often I get to see two Northern flickers together at our feeder, plus a blue jay for good measure. The flicker nearest me is a female; I *think* the other is a male but I was too busy taking this picture through the sunlit window to notice. The sunlit glass reduced the contrast substantially and I think I uglified it by increasing local contrast. But there you go: you play the cards you're dealt. As soon as I stept closer to the window, the birds saw me and off all three went. As they say, there's only one shot at a shelllbird.
