Famished Flicker

2 Comments

Flicker is bigger than the little juncos and towhees. He takes advantage of his size to get his fill of suet.

It’s cold and rainy in the video clip. The towhee and junco try in vain to get a bite.

But all are vulnerable when the hawk moves in.

I’m trying my hand at writing cinquains (sin kanes). They have five lines with 2, 4, 6, 8, and 2 syllables in each line respectively.

Be patient please. This is my first one ever.

 

Flicker

Hogging suet

Hungry but not sharing

Forgets about pecking order

And hawks.

    That’s a great little cinquain, Anneli. I enjoyed your photos of the birds and especially the video.

    A great situation for a cinquain Anneli. Flickers always seem to have a way of grabbing a bite. Wishing you a Happy New Year. Allan
