EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by renowned nature photographer Ken Archer, we witness a breathtaking moment in the natural world of Boundary Bay, British Columbia, Canada. The tranquil winter landscape is illuminated by the warm glow of the setting sun, casting long shadows over the icy bay. Amidst the barren trees and frozen water, a red-shafted flicker, scientifically known as Colaptes auratus, bravely forages for food to survive the harsh first winter. The red-shafted flicker, also known as the northern flicker or RF, is a versatile woodpecker species native to North America. Known for their distinctive red feathers on the underside of their wings, these birds are well-adapted to various habitats, from forests to grasslands. However, their survival during the winter months can be challenging, as food sources become scarce. In this image, a young red-shafted flicker can be seen perched on a tree branch, its feathers fluffed up against the cold. Its beady eyes are focused intently on the ground below, searching for insects or grubs hidden beneath the snow. The adult bird, perched nearby, keeps a watchful eye on its youngster, ensuring its safety while it learns the essential skills needed for survival. The photograph by Ken Archer and Danita Delimont beautifully captures the resilience and determination of the red-shafted flicker in the face of adversity. This image serves as a reminder of the wonders of nature and the strength and adaptability of its inhabitants, even during the harshest of seasons.
