Flicker on suet

Chosen Pick of the Month! Judges' comments: "It's an excellent shot of the flicker caught at a precarious moment – in focus and nicely composed." "Colorful and full of action." The photographer writes: "This male flicker likes the suet cakes I hang in our back yard in Sandpoint. I was finally able to snap a photo of his bright orange wing feathers." Taken March 8.
