It was so foggy yesterday morning that it was hard to even see Nauset Marsh. And then this little Flicker stopped by. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
It was pecking around for a long while on the ground and then flew up to the fence. Why not try to make lemonade out of lemons on a foggy morning?
I opened my window and clicked away. What do you think?
Fun Fact:
“While Northern Flickers do enjoy fruit from time to time, ants are their bread and butter. The woodpeckers probe the ground with their long bills and flexible tongues in search of their favorite food or other tasty insects. Their pursuit of anthills often leads them to lawns, parks, and other patches of short grass or bare dirt.”
