As the new day broke, while in my blind, there was perfect early morning light as the sun was slightly filtered through high wispy clouds. The young Flickers were starting to regularly come to the nest hole for their feedings and I looked forward to the opportunity to get them in the good light.  As it played out, this morning was the best light for the rest of the days they remained in the nest. This image is of the adult female with a young male.

The chick looks ready to eat mother if she doesn't deliver, Warren! Wonderful shot.

Great series, Warren. This one is especially nice in that early morning light. Fun to watch these birds developing and feeding.
