I have a new friend that you may have seen in earlier postings. I call him Flicker (of course). He has made himself quite at home at the suet feeder. He decided to let me get some very nice photos of him the other day and posed for quit awhile. I hope you enjoy the shot as much as I did taking them. I also have some other feathered friend at the end.

    Well, I am truly amazed that your Flicker came to your suet feeder! I have one in the woods, and he has never ever come to the feeders! They primarily eat insects out of the ground or bark of trees. You sure got some great shots of him! Well done!

    my grandmother said the same thing, she said it may be due to the ground is still frozen. the funny thing is that i live in the city so there are not any wooded areas around us. I do feel privileged to have him around. ;)
