Northern Flicker

While sitting in a fenceline looking for deer, a family of Flicker's landed close to me. By mocking their calls, I had them interested for quite awhile. At least until the six pointer came out to eat beans.

Pretty, pretty background. And birds, too.

Fascinating, was there a food source nearby that they were interested in also? Or were they more or less interested in your calling? What call(s) did you use? The second image is excellent.

Great shots! Did you slip these guys a mickey? I can't get them to sit still long enough for a shot!

Thanks for comment's. These appeared to be young Flicker's and I was probably the first human they had seen. I mimicked the call they sometimes make that sounds like wee-pah wee-pah wee-pah. I haven'nt got the jungle call they make down yet and probably never will.
