Welcome to Nature Friday where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. This week we are going to share some fun pictures and video of our resident Northern Flicker.
He is a big fan of the suet Mama puts in the backyard.
He has no problem breaking off pieces with his long sharp beak, does he??
He doesn't visit Birdy Theater often, so when he does, Mama loves to show him off. This video shows a bit of his personality as he interacts with a flock of Starlings and Red Wing Blackbirds (who can be very annoying!).
He sure is a pretty bird, we always look forward to seeing him around the backyard!
Thanks for joining us for a little Friday Flicker fun today!
We hope everyone has a chance to view some nature this weekend!!
Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE to go to our Hoppity Page.
