Pretty cool. I just got to watch the #NorthernFlicker #Woodpecker’s courtship dance!
Video gets better after about 15-20 seconds.
At first I only saw one of the birds & thought it was injured. Then the other kept so low I wondered if it was a young bird. Then it became pretty obvious that it was a mating ritual. Anyway, sorry for my voice over musings.

Also saw this family of northern flickers in our alley. I don't know why, especially since I'm not superstitious, but I always associate flickers with good luck.

First Visitors
The first avian visitors to my birdbath have been a Northern Flicker and a couple of American Robins, although they seemed to be more interested in the adjacent plants than the fountain. One robin actually perched on the rim of the birdbath in order to drink from the drip tray of the nearest plant pot. I suspect they were attracted by the fountain but the hot weather made the still water an easier source of refreshment.

A Flicker in Time
This an aged picture of a northern flicker (Colaptes auratus) who was around during the winter a few years ago.
"Northern Flickers are large, brown woodpeckers with a gentle expression and handsome black-scalloped plumage. On walks, don’t be surprised if you scare one up from the ground. It’s not where you’d expect to find a woodpecker, but flickers eat mainly ants and beetles, digging for them with their unusual, slightly curved bill. When they fly you’ll see a flash of color in the wings – yellow if you’re in the East, red if you’re in the West – and a bright white flash on the rump." - allaboutbirds.org

Northern Flicker Standing Tall
This fine bird was making a raucous, which is a great way to find birds when they blend in with their background.
Take a listen to the Northern Flicker calls and see what you think.

What luck at the refuge today! Among many others, we were treated to Northern Flickers, an Egret feasting on a crawdad, a really tame(😬) coyote, and a gorgeous Pheasant #NorthernFlicker #Egret #Coyote #CommonPheasant #Birds #BirdWatching #SacramentoWildlifeRefuge #Fujifilm #SOoC
