Watching the Sun Set.

I have a favourite little spot on our land where I like to sit quietly at the end of the day and watch the sun slide down below the horizon. It seems I am not the only creature who enjoys this simple pleasure. This saguaro is situated just behind where I usually sit and this beautiful Gilded Flicker was kind enough to share the moment with me.

A VIP.

I normally see Gilded Flicker around the yard, perched on top of a Saguaro or drilling holes in the power poles. Today was a rare treat, he came in and had a good meal at the peanut feeder which is the first time I have seen him come into the feeders ever. Then he took a good long drink at the bird bath before flying off.
