Northern flicker back in the bush.
Recently got a Canon R7 mirrorless camera.
Really impressed with the auto focus.
It reached into he bush found the eye and focused with not problem.
ISO 1000, 263mm, f6.3, 1/200 sec.
Colaptes auratus
Although it can climb up the trunks of trees and hammer on wood like other woodpeckers, the Northern Flicker prefers to find food on the ground. Ants are its main food, and the flicker digs in the dirt to find them. It uses its long barbed tongue to lap up the ants.
