We have Flickers that come to our yard sometimes but as you said they are very shy. Great shots of the little one. <br /><br />Your other garden flower is one of my favorites, a Gaillardia or Blanket Flower. The bees love the pollen on those blooms.SquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-23252530839740513512010-08-27T22:07:35.787-04:002010-08-27T22:07:35.787-04:00I was looking at the center of coneflowers the oth...I was looking at the center of coneflowers the other day too.

They're gone now but it's been wonderful to listen to them chirping and twittering every night!
