Rainy Northern Flicker

This Northern Flicker visited in a downpour the other day.  I don't see the male very often compared to the females so I took advantage of its visit.  This appears to be another record rainfall year in the Pacific Northwest.  As of yesterday, we already had over 5 1/2 inches of rain in April, three times more than normal.  In fact yesterday we had an inch and 1/2, beating the record for that date by more than 50%.
