Exit Stage Left - 08 Jan 2017

A couple of images from the past week. I photographed a Northern Flicker in the yard on the 7th of January, and managed to get a flight shot as it took off. Now you know why they're called Yellow-shafted Flickers!

A Red-bellied Woodpecker was on the suet feeder a day later. I got this still from a 4K video capture. I was too close to get a full wing spread. Oh, well. I'll try again.
