Flickers' Courtship

3/19/2022

 
After a rainy day yesterday, with the temperature rising, the day was hazy till about 11.  The sun finally came out and the sky turned blue.  Before heading for Brightwood Park, a fluffy sparrow greeted me from the bush of winter jasmine.  I had to make a stop to take a courtesy  picture for the little fellow.

Near the Brightwood parking lot, two northern flickers were courting on a tall tree.  It was like a drama on the stage.  The way they corresponded to each other reminded me of the piece "Invitation to Dance" by Carl Maria von Weber.   I was apparently not the only party watching.  A duck got so excited and took off like a rocket to look for a partner.
