Red-shafted Flicker

I watched a male and female woodpecker work on a home and then have a starling try to move in. We had to move on before I found out who kept the hole in the cottonwood tree. This is the female.

Thanks for looking at my picture and for any comments.

Great shot, good detail and i like the tree and BG. Just think I would have cropped a little off the right side. But that's just me. :toast:

I hope the flicker won! I agree with a little off the right and may even consider a vertical here. Sharon
