This Northern Flicker is teaching its young one where the suet cake feeder is. The young Flicker was having a tough time staying on the feeder but its parent was diligent in feeding it anyway.
I love the pattern on its back and the golden striping on the wings. They truly are beautiful birds and I enjoy keeping suet for them all year long.
Thank you @melinda010100 @barbara-orenya and @nelinoeva for this fun #smap contest. Have a great week everyone!

Thanks, Mike! How are you doing these days? Hope all is well. ♥
Still above ground with my 8 cats // Just made a post, My cat Mickey caught a mouse this morning. only one of the 8 that earned his keep.
Awesome to hear, Mike, and great job Mickey! No mice in the house!!!
Quite the acrobat the young Northern Flicker is as it attempts to get into a position to feast on the suet!
The young Flicker was so funny to watch trying to stay on the feeder.
It's fun to watch the youngsters learn! Great shots!
I love watching all the young birds with their parents. I just got some shots yesterday of a few baby Robins that were so darn cute. Have a wonderful day, Melinda.
And that's exactly where birds should be- out in the open, with the freedom to fly where they want at all times, not locked up in cages in aircon houses.
I love my Indy Jean soooo much, but if I handn't of inherited her from my mum, I would never have a bird as a pet, I think it's cruel.
She's never in her cage, unless I have to go out and all of the doors are left open.
Actually heres her 28th floor apartment today and she's just hanging around outside watching me clean....
I really should write a proper post on her one day....
I totally agree, that birds should be free as they were meant to be. I would love to see a post about her. ♥
I will one day as its quite a complex story of love, betrayal, trauma and rescue...
Stunning bird, relatively large birds visiting your feeder. Wing markings with red patch great identification.

Hi Joan, the young Flicker was trying so hard to manage the suet cage.
Lovely cage to feed from, did read up about this bird and find it is related to woodpeckers.
Beautiful bird shot.
Thanks, @reachdreams the birds are fun to capture with the camera.
Yes, I agree.
Nice capture! These birds are very beautiful with elegant feather patterns.
I thought so too. I love the patterns on the Flicker and the golden color too. Have a blessed day. ♥
Thank you, @brumest ♥
This is so cool to watch how parents teach their younger. Really beautiful birds.
Thank you again for your entry, a great example for the topic of the week.
I appreciate your community and of course I am a huge bird lover.
Amazingly beautiful birds!
I agree, the Flickers are beautiful birds.
