  1. Ooooh, love the Flickers! They are quite spectacular, aren't they? I hate to correct but you've got yourself a BOY there Carol! :-) (You can tell by the black stripe along the base of the beak). I bet the female isn't too far! :-)

  2. Thanks for the ID Tracy.......and here I was so proud of myself....I looked up both male and female before I posted, and thought for sure I had it right. I am going to correct the post now and give him back his manhood. :-) Thanks so much for letting me know!
