As I was photographing Hummingbirds this afternoon something far up in a Maple tree caught my eye ... I strained to find an opening through the branches to take an unobscured view and saw this Norther Flicker on a snowy branch.. Just as I was focusing my lens, the bird bolted and I caught this  .... pre-flight jump before opening its wings to fly!  Thank you for looking... TerryV
