Ladys Frist.
Northern Flicker. Colaptes auratus (Female)

Una pareja de Pajaros carpinteros encontraron un arsenal de comida dentro de este tronco seco de un Maguey, en donde estan una gran cantidad de larvas de insectos (Probablemente ormigas)
Una grata esperiencia observar sus constantes visitas dentro del hoyo a sacar la comida, regularmente cada hora.

Saludos Luis52.

Wow Luis,
What an amazing capture. The Northern Flicker looks great against the lovely blue sky. What a bonus that it has just caught a scrumptious meal. A beautiful image.
Cheers,
Debbie

Hola Luis,
Great composition with a slight distorted look, still a great shot. I know where I'll get my next meal while in Mexico. :)

Holá Luis,
Great capture of a Northern Flicker leaving its nesting hole with a faecal bag from its young. Like many other passerines, the adult picks the excrement off from the behind off its fledgelings as it comes out.
Your shot is sharp and detailed enough to see the bits of wood from the base of the hole sticking to the to excrement.
Great action and behavioural shot!
TFS, saludos,
Ivan

Bonjour,
Et si on partageait ?
Bel instantané réalisé au bon instant.
Bonne journée.

Fortunate shot. I think this does not happen too often. Very good with the composition of him coming out of the hole.

Very detailed with a great BG of a beautiful blue sky.

Hi Luis

What an impeccable timing!!! And what a terrific title! :))
This is really a beautiful capture, with excellent details and colors on both the bird and that perfect blue sky in the BG.
The exposure was superbly managed here and the DOF gave you just enough coverage for the subject as needed.
A beautiful composition!

Bravo and TFS

Hello Luis,
This is very impressive! I love this moment caught, details, composition, pose of the bird and this great blue sky! It's so nice to see it in its habitat and with a prey in its mouth. This is superb with excellent lightning and catch light! Congrats!
