Title: Re: Winter Oasis for Northern Flickers
Post by: shutterbugmom on January 28, 2009, 06:49:03 PM
The Northern Flickers are daily visitors now.  They come to eat our left over berries on the vines, but mainly to get a drink of water from our backyard pond.  I didn't realize their heads were fuzzy like a teddy bear.  I need to read more about them.  I think it's probably winter plumage, because their heads look slick in the books I have.  I had to take these through the window glass, unfortunately.

 It looks like they prefer their drinks on ice.  :lol:

The last two are my favorites.
