Was up in Brainerd today to have Easter with 2 of my mother-in-laws, and got a pic of this northern flicker at the feeder. I see them around here but it's usually in wooded areas so it's hard to get a good shot.

oh nice Northern Minnesota is grand to say the least
think that's a red-bellied woodpecker though
they kind of look like flickers especially up close. the dimensions in particular
saw one yesterday and my first thought was flicker for a minute
you're probably just trolling us though lol
nice pic nonetheless

meanwhile down on the 'southern' Minnesota border:
the sky was full of bright white pelicans yesterday.
the pelican -
His beak can hold more than his belly can. He can hold in his beak. Enough food for a week!
here's an Easter Poem for yah Anus:
Rabbit - A Haiku
Stormy eventide
A wild, silly rabbit drools

I think you're right, it's a red bellied woodpecker. The uncompressed image is much better, I'd attach it but somebody set a limit on upload size.
Brainerd is nice but the property values, and taxes are insane. We stay with a family friend every summer on Gull Lake and there's a house between that house and Kristi Yamaguchi's that sold for around $2,000,000. The new owner tore the house down to build a new one, so they really just bought the land for that price.
I spend so much time that week taking pictures and videos of loons on Gull lake that I bought a camera that takes long distance shots just for that. The year I bought it nearby fires made the whole lake smokey so all my pictures and videos sucked like this.

^^From what I’ve seen in the last 4 years, values have doubled.
Gull is a pretty lake but it’s infested with zebra mussels.

It's a Nikon d900, it's all one piece so it's really light.
The person we stay with got reassessed and her property value went up several hundred thousand dollars this year, and the McMansion next door hasn't even been built yet.

Trying to get an unblurred image of a hummingbird's wings. This is 1/600 of a second shutter speed, with an ant for scale.
The ruby-throated hummingbird beats it's wings about 53 times a second.
