EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by John Cancalosi, we witness the remarkable journey of a CAN-3184 Gilded Flicker. With its vibrant feathers shimmering in the Arizona sun, this male flicker takes flight from its cozy nest nestled within a majestic Saguaro Cactus. Known as permanent residents of the Sonoran Desert, these woodpeckers are true masters of their domain. They diligently carve holes into saguaro cacti to create nests that later become sought-after homes for other birds. Talk about real estate expertise! But what sets these flickers apart? Well, besides their impressive architectural skills and dashing appearance, they have an unusual taste for ants! While most birds turn up their beaks at these tiny critters, our flicker friends spend ample time foraging on the ground and gobbling up those pesky insects. As you admire this stunning print capturing a single male flicker at his nest, take note of his distinguishing feature – a striking red moustachial stripe adorning his face. It's like nature's way of giving him an extra touch of charm! So let your imagination soar with this incredible image that encapsulates the wild beauty found in North America's deserts. Whether you're an avid bird lover or simply appreciate Mother Nature's wonders, "Fly High, Flicker!" is sure to bring joy and fascination to any space it graces.
