West Seattle Sunday: Happy Father’s Day! What’s up today

Not sure if that’s dad or mom Northern Flicker feeding babies at Lincoln Park – waiting for word back from photographer Trileigh Tucker – but it seems perfect for this family-oriented day, whatever the case. Here are highlights from the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar:

    That is the father flicker! There are actually at least three babies in the nest, two girls and a boy. Happy Father’s Day, flicker dad!

    The female could have multiple nests tended by different males, while she has a good time flying from one to another. Flickers are responsible fathers… happy Father’s Day!

    Beautiful photo of male Red-shafted (western) Northern Flicker. Fascinating birds.
