I believe this is a Northern Flicker that comes to find bugs on this post in our back acres. I wish someday to get a photo of it flying in full wing spread to show it’s beautiful copper underside.
I’m looking forward to the time that our backyard is full of birds again. Soon enough.
Today is Lunar New Year and we are heading to the one Chinese Restaurant in town for Linner. This will be our first time to eat in this restaurant. As I finish up this post Dear is finishing up the painting of the walls in our master bath. Soon I’ll share more before and afters of that space.
Happy weekend everyone.

Hi Ellen! We have flickers, too. I love their long beaks and red accents! My sister who lives in Spokane has all that snow, just like you. Argh.
I hope you enjoy your linner.
Love the pictures, he is a pretty bird. Thank you
Flickers are pretty birds, I think, with soft rather than dramatic colouring. We see them here, too. Enjoy your Lunar New Year celebrations!
Hello, nice series on the Flicker. Enjoy the meal, happy Chinese New Year! Enjoy your weekend!
Lots of great shots of the woodpecker.
Hope you enjoyed your dinner!!
…woodpeckers look to visit my suet feeder. Have a great New Year celebration.
That is a very handsome Flicker right there! I so love watching the Winter birds in our backyard too! Happy Chinese New Year – hope you had a wonderful dinner.
Flickers are so pretty. They do love suet the best but eats the seeds too. Good shots
