Not to be outdone by the Missus, the male Flicker decided to do some stretching and preening too.

Great series! I really like the feather detail in the first photo.

Another terrific series with fantastic detail and clarity Hank. A series like this captures the behavior of this Flicker and is about as close to being there and observing real time as possible. VV++
