I was photographing the Red-bellied Woodpecker when the Northern Flicker flew in and challenged him for rights of the bark butter just above them.

AWARD WINNER: Week 8 Winner!Having Words
So gorgeous; so immediate!
A beautiful photograph capturing nature’s beauty and interaction!
I can’t believe these birds are side by side on the same tree. Great capture in motion by the photograher.
I Vote for Laurie Salzler’s “Having Words” photo. There is a light that beams through her camera’s lens–and it is her spirit, intrigue and one-ness with nature, predominantly birds that allows Us the Viewer to appreciate the life of these winged creatures and their beauty. I strongly suggest that anyone looking for images conveying birds “look no further!”.
