flick of gold




Vickie Henderson is a good friend of mine. And why not? She's an artist, photographer, writer, and dare we say, passionate about nature. Note the similarity.

Recently she posted this wonderful photo she took of a yellow shafted Northern flicker, known as the yellowhammer in Alabama, or Pique bois jaune by the early French settlers in Louisiana.

I love the action, the bold color of Vickie's photo. But the complete flicker story she posted is just as striking.
