Cool catch Josh. I might lighten the bird a touch to make it stand out a bit more. Do you have any where the background tree isn't intersecting with it's head? Regardless, I'm glad you got the shot.

Very nice Josh, I used to watch a flicker on a friends farm and never could quite understand why it hung around this log all day, but to my surprise I found out that they were anteaters. I have seen your shots on the avian forum you will nail one soon. :smile:
