This fledgling Northern flicker was in the yard yesterday. His mom stayed vey close by as he explored looking for bugs.

Northern flickers are in the woodpecker family and are one of the few woodpeckers who migrate.

At one point the mom flew up into a dead tree on the other side of the creek and I assumed she was calling to him to follow her. He simply looked baffled about what he was supposed to do next! He remained frozen in place and eventually she came back to him.
