Description

Northern Flicker

I was walking by the Leaburg Canal further west than I normally do, and had just visited two osprey nests, when I spotted a large bird with a flash of color flying up from the ground. Finally locating him between the branches of a tree, I was very surprised and excited to see this male Northern Flicker, never having seen one before in the area. A large woodpecker, this bird actually feeds on the ground a lot, eating ants and worms.

Nature, animals, beauty have been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes use what I capture as an inspiration to create something new, by incorporating other exposures, textures or brushwork.

I currently reside in Oregon, an environment rich in nature's graces. I have lived in California and New York, too, and everywhere there is a world of beauty around us, if we care to take the time and look for it.
