Northern Flicker Pair
Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge - Merritt Island, Florida
December 31st, 2023
While visiting Merritt Island refuge, we went over to Scrub Ridge Trail for the chance to see some Scrub Jays. Unfortunately, they were not to be found. However, about 5-6 Northern Flickers were flying about, going from tree to tree and interacting with each other in a playful manner. They were quite entertaining. I was able to grab this capture, of two Flickers on opposite sides of a pine tree.
I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
