Good Neighbor Tim is always on the lookout in our Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood.
It’s one of the things I love about having him and his wonderful wife Lorraine next door to the Little Bitty.
His latest discovery was … I’ll let him tell it, from his email.
“Another creature you might appreciate is the Northern Flicker, classified with woodpeckers. I first saw one on July 11 and then the pair, an adult still instructing and feeding a large chick. They were foraging in our yards.”
Two beauties in Eastwood.
Take good care of each other around here. (Photos by Tim Garriques)
Beautiful. Thanks so much, Tim.
And he sent me the link to Cornell University’s page about the bird, too.
What is your favorite bird, and why? What do you see around your home? Can you catch good bird photos?

We have a family of Northern Flickers that visit and raise their young every year. They are truly beautiful birds.

My Mom-in-law has a red tanager that pecks on her kitchen window all morning long. It’s either been the same long-lived bird or a family calling since she’s had him for about fifteen years now. 🙂

Funny timing. I just took a picture of a Northern Flicker on my back fence yesterday. Beautiful birds.
