Northern Flicker Pair at Nest

great color coordination in this family portrait- well done!

A beautiful and tender portrait face to face mother and son, good the light and colors, ciao Giangiorgio

I was lucky that the male arrived just as the female was looking out. It's an adult male and adult female. No little ones yet. I'm really looking forward to those because they all look a little bit different.

Hi Deborah,

 

this photo has it all: the birds interacting (shot at exactly the right moment), beautiful light and color, balanced composition, good focus and very nice bokeh. I will certainly check out your other photos! Kind regards, Vincent

Thanks Vincent. I'm hoping to get more pix while the birds are nesting. Right now they have a big problem with starlings, which don't make their own nest and like to nest in woodpecker holes, so it may be another few weeks before they can get some peace & quiet.
