Eating and preening

The goal was to find robins with big fat worms, but the day didn't progress that way. The flicker was working a stump, but at its most vulnerable position,the red head marking a target for any raptor.

A second flicker worked another dead log.

Georgeous! I've never been able to watch a black-crowned night heron from this perspective.
Totally elegant and a bit comical.

Camera shy?
