The last post was the little birdies. This post is sharing birdies a little bigger. 🙂
Belted Kingfisher
Gray Catbird
I’ve only captured one Eastern Meadowlark once before, one photo. So this was a treat to capture several photos with two, then a bit later one of them in flight.

And finally, another special treat, having a Northern Flicker posing beautifully for me shortly after sunrise. He spoiled me with wonderful photos.

If you’re not familiar with this woodpecker and wondered ‘where’s the yellow’, the next photo gives you a peek at the yellow under his tail.

Once in flight, the Northern Flicker shares his fabulous yellow!

There are two races of Northern Flickers in North America: the yellow-shafted shared above that lives in the eastern half, and the red-shafted of the western half. I’ve never seen the red-shafted, I bet that blaze of red in flight is stunning too!
