Northen Flicker Female. Colaptes auratus.

Looks like she was busy nesting, and by the way she look at me, she donsent want Me to bother her.

I wanted to see her coming out from the hole, but never did it, so I decided to go away, probably some other day she can give me another chance.

Saludos

What a photo op this was! A perfect view of the Flicker looking out of her hole. I love the eye! I am sure you are right - she wanted you gone. Great shot with excellent colors, detail and pov. I haven't seen one of these since it got hot.

Hello Luis. I looked your pictures they all good. this one also good shot, excellent pov and composition.Its reminded me "Home sweet home" ...Leyla

Hola Luis!

I've missed some of Your great work lately. I've just been too busy...
This is yet another excellent shot. I like the cautious look on the Flicker's face. Hopefully there wasn't any fights over this nest as this scene reminds me of what I saw a few weeks ago (remember the fighting woodpeckers I posted ?) In any event, you've done wonderfully here. I like the composition, POV and overall setting. Excellent work as always my Friend.

Best Regards,

Martin

Hi Luis.
What a nice subject and cute image. I do not remember if this is your new lens but quality of the picture is great. Amazing close-up and magnification. I like perfect details, sharpness of the bird and trunk. Lights and colours are perfect too and composition is spot on. Well done and TFS.

I bet she came out as soon as you turned your back! But this picture is wonderful, I just love it, Luis. I always love that beautiful brightness in your pictures and this one is vivid and with natural colours, it is superb. I love the sharpness and all the details in the hole, the tiny face looking and waiting for you to finally go away! Thank you!

Francine

hello Luis

what a beautiful image of the Northen Flicker with very fine
POV, DOF and framing, excellent luminosity of the image,
great sharpness and details, i love the contrast
between the wood part and the sky part of the image, TFS

Hola Luis,
Qué bonito como se asoma timidamente para otear los alrededores y ver si hay "moros en la costa". Muy linda la compo y además un buen documento. Saludos

What an enjoyable sight! I think the Northern Flickers I was watching lost their little ones because they are no longer there. It saddens me because I was looking forward to watching them. However, I spotted a squirrel pop his head out of the hole one afternoon; would they eat the young or eggs?

Back to this photo, wonderful close up, good texture on the wood, and the bright blue sky adds excellent contrast. This is a shot that's adorable.
