I just love the variety of birds we find in the vineyard, most of which I've never seen before. This Northern Flicker has been hanging around, and today I was lucky enough to get close enough to him to get a shot.
We've also had plenty of snow, so you know what that means....sledding through the Pinot Noir vines,and building snowmen on the front doorstep! Not bad for a couple of former Californians. But even in Oregon, snow days mean play days since they don't happen very often!
Nice shot of the flicker, they are such shy birds. I hear them more than see them and if I do, they are making their escape. Such pretty birds!
ReplyDeleteThey are SO jumpy; the minute you make one noise they are gone. Ironic, since their beaks look like they could inflict a pretty sharp stab if they needed to!
