Northern Flicker In Flight (11164)

This bird has always been a photographer's challenge (well at least for me). As every time I spot this bird its fast to take off and quick amongst the trees. While I walked past the gate at Black Star Canyon and continued ahead about 15 minutes off in the distance I noted a burst of color. I tracked this Flicker with AI Servo mode set to "on" and was fortunate enough to nab this one shot. Albeit not a great shot but worth posting. Hope you enjoy
