Just finished this watercolor with colored pencil of the Northern Flicker for the Puget Sound Bird Fest poster competition. It was fun creating this image of the Flicker, a local bird I have enjoyed watching over the years. They are very skittish, but when you can get a glimpse of them in your yard, looking for bugs with their long pointy beaks, or just flying across the yard and displaying their colorful wings, it is always a treat.
