I expect that you will install a window so that you can take pictures of the young. I love flickers - but they are nervous nellies. #8482629

We sure miss the Bunkers Hal, hope they have a family get together soon.

This image of this young couple is awesome Hal. I wonder if Archie and Edith would have let them move into the neighborhood if they were still nested there? #8484086

Wonderful catch, Hal. Here's a challenge for you: I've never been able to catch the "Rumpelstiltskin" golden undersides of the Flicker's flight feathers in the air. So magnificent. You have the skill to capture it! #8486372
