Feeding Flicker

I just love these guys...they don't come to the feeder often, but when they do I'm pleased.  They have such a beautiful color, and their claws are huge...they look strong!

For more photos of birds today, visit my Flickr page.

PS...Got my new 40-150 lens, f2.8 today....wish I felt better and could be out taking photos, but my back is useless, and I've given up the fight for a bit (not for long, though).  It is a heavy sucker, but it takes the most amazing photos.  I just was able to take a few photos yesterday before It got the best of me...but I'm hoping a can get a few today!
