Longest tongue?
Feb 20, 2015 07:04:13 #
I kept seeing this flicker flicking its tongue out. It took several shots to capture it though, and was amazed as to how long it really was. Just thought you birders might get a kick, or a lick, out of this shot. He must approve of the suet cake.

Nice catch !!
They need those tongues to chase insects through small holes in trees. They are very similar to hummingbird tongues that have to reach deep into flowers for nectar.
