Hi All...

Here are a few Gilded Flicker photographs I've taken over the past several weeks. Comments and suggestions welcome.

Thanks

Really cool looking birds here Tom! You are really very good at capturing birds. My favorites are #1 and 4. That red spot on their throats is pretty cool.

First for me, great pose, a male so better markings and great backgrounds. The rest are all keepers, but the first is classic.

Great captures!

I am not picking favorites - these are all excellent portraits and I find things to like in each one.

Very nice flick, Tom! We get these guys from time to time on the suet feeders.

I dig the male in #1, but prefer the female's head pose a little more in #2.

The last would have easily been my favorite if the little bugger went profile for you! The perch lining up with the tail (creating an awesome diagonal) and the gorgeous/complementary background are choice.
