COMMON FLICKER aka YELLOW SHAFTED
Next her 2 leggers and
MOI
Mom loves her fine feathered friends. She has been trying to
snap a good picture of a Flicker
Finally on May 25th Mrs. Flicker stopped by our watering hole for
a little sip of fresh cool water. As you can see she even
caught her with her beak open.
Here is a close up profile of this lovely lady wearing red necklace
and a lovely speckled coat. We know this is a female because she does not have black whiskers/patches on the side of her mouth. Both female and male have golden wing linings.

26 is our favorite too! Great pic of the Flicker! We don't have those around here. Looks yum,er, pretty! Happy Sunday Madi. Hugs from your BFFF - Prancer Pie
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty lady! I bet she'd be fun to play with. Do you think she'd run away like all the other birdies when I try to play with them?
ReplyDeleteMrs Flicker is very purrty!!! We like #26 too!!

Such great bird pictures! They are so hard to get and you did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteIsn't she lovely....I do hope you're not having typical pussy cat type thoughts, Madi mate! Deccy x
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Mrs. Flicker is a very beautiful lady. C, you got some great shots.
ReplyDelete#26 is our favorite too! #22 (what happened to #23?, MOL) is also a good one since we know a couple of really nice Vet Techs!
Hope you are all having a lovely weekend!

ReplyDeletepawhugs, Max
That is one gorgeous bird. I think we had some of those around here. I have never seen one with that much color though. The plates are terrific especially the last one. I need to get a place with 'Crazy cat Lady' or something to that effect. Have a great Sunday.
ReplyDeletePhwaaw that is one bonny bird I would like to get a bit closer to, as I suspect most of us Furs here, no? Sadly, despite my very best efforts, these and all other small furry creatures don't feel the same way about me, and I never, ever get near! x
ReplyDeleteShe's a beauty, great pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteYour mom got REALLY lucky to have snapped a super picture of Mrs. Flicker.
ReplyDeleteWow! Your Mom got a fantastic shot of Mrs. Flicker. I just loved seeing all of her in her glory.
ReplyDeleteYou sure look like you are smiling big in your pic Madi! We love Mrs Flicker too!
ReplyDeleteLovies, Miss Mindy
We bet Mom would love that LOVACAT plate for her vehicle. She got some beautiful photos of that flicker, so lovely.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday to you and Mom.

Hi Madi, Mom got several great shots of the Flicker! You can see all of
ReplyDeleteher pretty markings! I think she needs to send them in to one of the birding
magazines they are so good!
Lots of fun plates today especially the last one! LOL
Flicker is beyond common and the silly humans should have a more refined name for such a beauty. Madi love your little biscuits on your Moms legs. Your BFFF Willow
ReplyDeleteYay!!! Thank you for emailing back! I have added you to my Google Reader and joined you via Google Connect, too.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a gorgeous bird! We aren't birders that much, not like you all, knowing everything about what is a female and male, and plumage, etc. We just feed them so we can watch them and hear them. We have a feeder on our pear tree out back and one right beside of the house outside of my bedroom window. So no matter if we are on the back screened in porch or inside the house with the windows open, we can hear them chattering!
NCState? Ok we can like you. Living in Lexington Kentucky, with the University of Kentucky being just a few minutes from our house, we would have to automatically hate you if you rooted for Duke... its just how it is... I'm sure you understand. But the Wolfpack we like... I remember being a little girl watching Jim Valvano bringing the Wolfpack to the NCAA tourney. Good times!!
Cannot wait to see your posts!! And I'm glad we are friends!

I miss flickers! The bird life in S. NV is pretty slim. When we lived in IL Scott fed the birds and we had all different kinds as well as water birds like kingfishers and herons; our house was next to the Fox river.

Awwwwwwwwwww, I'm glad that Ms. Madi allowed you to share the images of your feathered friend....GREAT images. Enjoyed the license plates as always.
ReplyDeleteThat birdie is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!
