Our birdfeeders attracted this Northern Flicker and he tried his best to twist his body to get some seed.
We had more snow over the weekend and now we are having rain. On Saturday we realized our hot water tank was not heating our water anymore so parts have been ordered to fix that problem. Until the parts come and the non working parts are swapped out we are in camping mode. Thankfully we have a quiet week ahead.
Hope all is well in your corner of the world.

Beautiful Flicker photos, it is a nice visitor. Take care, have a great day and happy new week!
Beautiful photos!
…it would be great if one of his cousins would visit me!
Woody is beautiful!!!
The Flicker is beautiful! He was certainly hard at it trying to get those seeds, wasn’t he? I’m so sorry to hear about the hot water heater. Camping mode can be fun for a day or two…
What a treat to have the woodpecker visit your feeder. Hope those parts come quickly!!
What a beautiful bird! Hope you get your water heater fixed quickly.
Great photos of him. He is so nice looking.
What beautiful photos! We had an owl in our yard yesterday which was a bit unusual. We cannot have a bird feeder (other than hummingbirds and the bluebird house) because of the bear. We do get a lot of water birds though-kingfisher, heron, and then lots of hawks which I am fascinated by. Enjoy your week! Hope that part comes quickly!
Seeing an owl in the wild is a dream of mine. I love watching hawks. Thanks for stopping by!
Such beautiful markings. I love woody. B x
Hi Ellen. Beautiful photos. God bless you and yours. Happy Belated Birthday to your sons and daughter- in-law.
I’ve never seen this type of bird before. Thank you for sharing!
Well, you have an awesome little feathered friend – love the colors!
Super photos of the flicker. I haven’t seen one in a long time. Hope you get your hot water tank parts in timely fashion.
Thanks everyone! I’m happy to report that we have hot water again. Thank you all for stopping by and leaving a comment.
Pretty bird! Glad your water woes are over …
