and stealthy. I saw this male flicker working the pasture and decided this was image worthy. There was a low landscape trailer near by and I used it as cover and took position adjacent to a tire and then laid prone on my belly. To my delight he worked his way towards me to almost my minimal focal length, 5'.

Really nice catch. I believe this is a female. The males have red on them.
