Northern Flicker

This pretty Northern flicker landed on the rail of the boat.  It has moss stuck to its beak. Well, it is a woodpecker, and it often forages on the ground, so I could see where there might be tree pitch gluing that moss on.

This flicker really wants to clean its beak. Why does this remind me of holding a toddler with a runny nose?

Wipe, wipe, wipe...

...and then the innocent look.

Melt me with that sweet face. You can wipe your beak on that rail any day, Flicker.
