This Northern Flicker's feathers are being ruffled by the breeze as he sits on the peak of our house. It had our kitties excited when it would pound on the tin, they know it is the sound of a bird. Flickers are uncommon around SE Alaska but not around our house. We have a pair that nests nearby and there are several other pairs in town.
Went to Petroglyph Beach earlier today and saw a large flock of Black Turnstones. They are pretty in flight and I was fortunate that an eagle was chasing a gull nearby and scared these birds off their rock.
Notice the Bonaparte's Gulls flying with the flock of turnstones. This was after the eagle had chased them all off a rock.
This is what a Black Turnstone looks like when it is sitting still.
