A first timer at my feeders!

I've seen many in my neighborhood, but never in my yard, let alone at the feeders.
Actually there were two Northern Yellow shafted Flickers.

 

Having a "first timer" at a feeder is always thrilling, but such a lovely bird--even better! It's plumage, except for the red, looks a bit like our Inca doves.

 

I can see that. Wish the sun had been a little higher so it's colors could have really stood proud.

 

Thay are great looking birds, nice to have them around.

 

Way cool!

 

Beautiful birds. What were they wating? Do you provide suet?..... I just checked your first photo & I think I see a suet feeder. Is that what they were going for?

 

Yes it's insect infused suet. I also have mealworm blocks that many birds love, even the cardinals hit it every so often.

 

I can get them to the suet feeders here too...they are such a beautiful bird

 

Here are four on the deck, with a hummer blurring past.

 

I have these guys around my backyard. They're cute to watch and I love the flashes or colour on them as well.
