hello friends, this is not of my best
in-flight photos, but the main reason why
i keep this photo it is because i love the
bird's flight pose with the wide open wings

from Seattle Audubon Society website :

http://www.seattleaudubon.org/birdweb/bird_details.aspx?id=279

« Habitat
Northern Flickers can be found throughout most
wooded regions of North America, and they are
familiar birds in most suburban environments.
They need some open area and do not nest in
the middle of dense forests, but they breed in
most other forest types. Outside of the
breeding season, they also frequent other
open areas, including suburban lawns and parks,
grassland, sagebrush, and even sand dunes. »

Merci

Asbed

Hi Asbed,for me this isn't bad,the point of view is one of the best and the sharpness too is very very high.The transparence of the wings in this backlight are wonderfuls! For me is one of your best.....have a nice day,Luciano

Wonderful shot Asbed. You got him at the right moment. Well done. They should call it the golden flicker. Beautiful bird. Trevor

Hi Asbed,

I agree that the opened wing pose is wonderful! I can tell it is a Northern Flicker from the shape of the head. It's a shame you didn't have better lighting so his colors would be true. I love the composition! I bet this would look fantastic in black and white.

Hello Asbed,
I agree with you the capture of the wing position in this in-flight of a Northern Flicker is great and seen with excellent details and colours against the fine springtime branch BG.

Hi Asbed. I would say this is a good inflight picture of the Northern Flicker . We can see good detail in the open wings with natural colours. Good timing on your part. well done TFs.
Nick..

bonjour Asbed
comment tu fais pour trouver tout ces differents oiseaux et d'en faire d'aussi belles photos, tu as beaucoup de talent
celle-ci comme toutes les autres est très bien réussie
Passe une bonne nuit

Bonjour Asbed,

Les arbres cadrent bien l'oiseau. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couleurs du pic flamboyant en vol. Le ciel nuageux donne un bon contraste aux couleurs. Une belle réussite, bonne journée.
