Title: Too big? Guess not!
Post by: shutterbugmom on December 12, 2009, 12:26:15 AM
I just had to post these humorous pictures of the northern filckers that visit our yard.  The finches and sparrows are having to wait in line and even share with them.  I had no idea it could be done by such a big bird to feed from the small bird hoppers.  Where there's a will, there's a way!  haha  I just love watching them.

Super capture, Kahtleen...! I like your setup, too. Looks like you have lattice there for a wind breaker, for our fine feathered friends...Do you grow flowering vines there, too?

Wonderful!  I didn't think a flicker would bother with the seeds in a feeder, but I guess he gets hungry enough that anything will do.  Is your ground snow covered?

Thanks, Juanital.  I took these through out back window.

Yes, it's so beautiful in the spring and summer, too.  I'll have to try to find a photo to post of a wider shot so you can see it.

Thank, Jeanne.  :)  I guess so.  It's funny, now when they are on the feeder one of us just yells bottoms up and we know what they mean.  :lol:

My ground was snow covered, but it has since melted.  Praying for a white Christmas, though.

WOW, he sure does look big in the first photo compared to that Sparrow (don't know American birds). It's rather a comical shot, love the perspective. ;D

He has got amazing feathers though hasn't he!
