Northern Flicker (Yellow-shafted) - 01-15-2012, 07:41 AM
Critique: NC:

This from yesterday morning around 10:00. F/9, 1/3200th, ISO 1250, 1D M3, 300mm f/2.8 + 1.4x ext & natural light. < 1/3 exposure bias & standard evaluative metering.
Flickers appear brownish overall with a white rump patch that’s conspicuous in flight and often visible when perched. The undersides of the wing and tail feathers are bright yellow, for eastern birds, or red, in western birds.

Very cool shot. You don't often see the Yellow-shafts on Flicker shots.
