Nature Walks – Another Northern Flicker

I love the Northern Flickers. Our Flickers like to hang around pretty much year round. almost always see them in the trees, so it was even more of a treat to see one on the ground. I usually see the males too, but this one looks like a female based on her coloring. I saw her on the ground, in the grass first, then she flew up into the tree. The Flickers get their name from their flick, flick, flick song they sing.

Beauty is all around us, even in the most unexpected places. All we have to do is look for it, and we will find it.
