Thank you for the messages about the 3 little birds. Today I have the Northern Flicker that comes for water. (A female)

Never realized their plummage was so striking! They could almost be called the poka dot bird.

WOW if that is the female no doubt the male is even more colourful. I can see those spotty feathers coming in handy if there's a preditor about and the flicker is hidden amongst dappled foliage.
