Great capture! So rare to see the orange under plumage and that’s my favorite part.
Thank you. A lot of people don’t like the flicker’s because of the damage they can do to a house, but I think they’re beautiful birds.
SUPER!
Thank you.
Wow, Maralee! Fantastic moment you’ve captured. Terrific clarity and color. 😊👍🏻
Thank you, Jane. They are more beautiful in flight than just sitting. It shows all of their wing color.
Stunning capture Maralee!
Thank you very much.
Superb, Maralee, great work!
Thank you, Donna.
Another terrific wildlife image, Maralee!
And such an interesting pattern in the plumage!
Thank you. When they spread their wings they are beautiful.
Beautiful!
Thanks, Judy.
Awesome capture.
Thanks, Emilio.
Fantastic, Maralee! Hope you are getting better!
Thank you. I’m still having ankle problems. I go back to the doctor on Monday.
I am sorry to hear that. Wish you the best!
Wonderful capture, Maralee.
Thanks, Michael.
