I was trying to take a picture of a red-tailed hawk and happened to focus the camera on a nearby tree with a flicker!!! I started to move closer to the flicker, heard a growl, turned around and saw my first bobcat. He scared me to death. Quite a day of firsts.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07625315968391918427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-36939536996613017282009-12-02T14:00:33.600-05:002009-12-02T14:00:33.600-05:00Absolutely fabulous shots of the Flicker!

I hope I can find one eating another type of berry.

I'm glad you're my aunt!! :-D<br /><br />Heather...find the berries, find the flickers, or so it seems this year. Problem is the berries are quickly disappearing, but there are plenty of the honeysuckle left! I love the Red-bellieds too, and since they come to the feeders on my deck, I get to see that red belly up close! <br /><br />Roy...he was definitely wary...they always are, but I left before he did, so I was lucky!<br /><br />Reema, thanks for dropping by.

He is large, but not as large as old Woody. I really like flickers and the sound they make. I don't see nearly enough of them, though!<br /><br />Warren....haha! I think you're right.
