A male northern flicker peeks out from its nest in a weathered tree along St. Vrain Creek in Longmont, Colorado.

In this vertical color photograph, the flicker's head appears in the lower half of the frame as it peers directly toward the camera from a nest cavity in a dead tree. The weathered trunk fills most of the image, emphasizing the bird's small presence within its rugged home. Along the left quarter of the frame, a strip of bluish-gray sky runs vertically behind the tree, providing a simple backdrop that contrasts with the textured bark.

It is a charming moment as the flicker pauses to look out from its nest. Its red mustache is clearly visible, highlighting the beauty and distinctive field marks of a male northern flicker.

For Rob's alt #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Paridae, here's a little #Black-cappedChickadee perched high up in a flowering tree and holding a freshly caught caterpillar. (Norfolk, MA - 5/1/26) 🤩🌸🐛 #birds #birding #spring #LittleBirds #ECK #birdphotography #OM-1 #Massachusetts

A small Black-capped Chickadee with a solid black cap and throat patch, white cheeks, a gray back, gray wings with white-edged feathers, and a white chest with buffy-tan sides. The bird was perched high up on a small brown branch of a tree covered with white flowers, with more branches and some pink flowers in the background, all against a late afternoon blue sky. Seen at Stony Brook WS in Norfolk, Massachusetts.

May 27 the great tit seems increasingly cautious when entering and leaving the wall cavity. She’s spending longer stretches inside the nest, behavior suggests the incubation phase has either just started … #GreatTit #Birds #BirdPhotography #NaturePhotography #WildlifePhotography
