Northern Flicker - my firsts

[Loupey]

Finally found a NF in my neck of the woods.

Not the best angle as he was a LOT higher than me and quite far.

But, an ice-breaker for me so here it is

Very cool Loupey, firsts are always great

Thanks, Copy

I've been looking out for these guys ever since you posted yours in early spring. Much better than mine too

You know i saw 6 of these guys in the same tree the other day . The only bad part of seeing them was i did not have my %@#%@% camera (excuse my French ) lol

Nice shots for ice breakers Loupey.

I found nesting site for a pair of these guys but , just like Glenn, I did not have my camera and when I returned later with the camera the nest was no longer in use. Going to try again next year and see if they come to the same location again.

Nice shots Loupey!
I finally got some pics of these guys for the first time this past spring when I found a nest of them. Its always exciting to photograph a species for the first time...
