Morning at the Glen
------
A few mornings ago, as I was stripping sheets, my eye was distracted by an amazing amount of bird activity in the front yard. I ran for my camera and stood at the window for about a half hour, snapping away.
-------
This gorgeous Northern Flicker female stood quietly to allow me to get this shot. Through the bedroom window, about 80 feet away, the focus was unartistic, but it has grown on me.
-----------
Used the camera's wildlife setting, which captured the Flicker at 1600 ISO. Tamron 18-270 lens, handheld.
