What do I love most about northern flickers? Is it the saucy way they have of flashing a fiery look over their shoulder?

Or the way they quickly stand to show off when a smaller colleague appears.
It’s impossible to say.

I spend a little too much time at the window on days like today, soaking in winter, trying to store it up to get me through all the endless sweaty months ahead.
