Northern Flickers

Northern Flickers spend lots of time on the ground, and when in trees they’re often perched upright on horizontal branches instead of leaning against their tails on a trunk. They fly in an up-and-down path using heavy flaps interspersed with glides, like many woodpeckers. This pair were on the road side by our farm.

Red-headed woodpecker

A Red-headed Woodpecker is a delightful find.  With it’s bright red head it is captivating and an exciting bird to add to ones list.  This one must have a nest nearby as it has been hanging around for several weeks in the south end of the Beaver Valley in the old growth forest which happens to border onto a quiet road. 5 images.
