Hi Jane,

they look like they didn't want to be photgraphed.
I'm guessing that pretty high up. Good job catching what you did.

Hi Jane,
Outstanding shot of these Flickers. Lovely colours and patterns on their body and the blue sky BG works wonders here. Impressive POV to catch them talking to each other. Very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

Ah, there are two of them, conversing in their bird language -- going by their posture, Jane.
The one in clear view gives perfect impression of how a Flicker woodpecker looks like.
Well done and TFS.

Not the clearest view of these flickers, but interesting to see two together - I've only ever seen one at a time - and also clear enough to see most of the distinguishing features. Looks like you needed fast reflexes to get these two.

Hi Jane.
You managed to picture a very attractive scene. Pose and expressiveness of the right bird is amazing as well as the rich natural surroundings. I also like your POV and selected DOF, details and sharpness of the main objects. I think the light is too complex. Lens produces some blue colour haze which is noticeable at dark parts of the image. However, it is not a point. My best regards and TFS.

I used to see the flicker often as a child, but never see one any more. Nice colors. Good focus with the glint of light in eye of main subject. The second bird is a bonus.
