I saw a gorgeous male Flicker the other day, perched on a power line. ![DSC_4172.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/corvidae/23xf2jJiTezfXnXz9pJjQeSRa6wXSbovwLj1E1fhPq6JxvkpW3t4oSuSzM566uHX6RPdd.jpg) *1/320 sec. f/7.1 300mm ISO 400* To me the mature males look like a stout little balding man with a big red handlebar mustache. ![DSC_4176.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/corvidae/23xLHnHPa5VEXunkdnRtD7jyxwphCnRFSMw2seVZTdDjBJv3L9sJqQodDrDFZNwwfcBZa.jpg) *1/1250 sec. f/6.3 300mm ISO 500* I think he agrees with me. <P> The females are not as brilliantly colored, but they still have all the cool spots. ![DSC_4178.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/corvidae/244V6QRQrjUfUTSX8jUVY1vdJ3MyCQheP3MhszaC3kzLX7YmD3i2cTD657THRiTZZM9rA.jpg) *1/1250 sec. f/6.3 300mm ISO 500* She was perched on a branch just above him, so I am assuming they were a mated pair. ![DSC_4179.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/corvidae/244KhtKwpCv2g8X5Ht7ntmDTSjCcupYHF1VNNJm62PiM3y5EVBb8nPrmq4b75gtDYMor4.jpg) *1/1250 sec. f/6.3 300mm ISO 500* I find Flickers very fascinating, and try and snap a few photos of them whenever I see them. I'm always trying to figure out what the best settings are for the various kinds of birds around my city, but since the lighting is always changing this time of year (cloudy one minute, sunny the next), I have yet to come up with any kind of formula. I've posted about Flickers a few times, so if you want to know more about this bird you can check out these links.
