The pause that refreshes
A Northern Flicker takes a break from the ant buffet to make sure that my Pentax isn’t about to leap out and attack.

The flicker was wandering around in our backyard, which isn’t all the big, and I was taking a picture from the other side of the back door. It was about 3 meters away from me, I was using my 55mm super-tak, and I cropped, so it’s not as close as it looks.

55mm and useful flicker picture = impressive, so far as I’m concerned. The ones I’m used to tend to react by going round the tree because there are binoculars pointed at them from thirty meters away.

Most impressive.
I’m surprised you could get that close to a flicker of the ground.
