That's a large woodpecker, a Red-shafted Flicker, named for the red feather shafts in the tail. Great birds with a distinctly tropical bird like song. They roost in our nest boxes and live just about everywhere. East of the Front Range you'll find more of the Yellow-shafted Flicker and hybrids with red and yellow feather shafts. They eat lots of bugs.
Thank you.
This morning we watched a cow and calf moose browse their way down the river and cross to the other side. In the afternoon I followed some tracks into the forest and spotted them lying down and chewing their their cud, 60 yards from the cabin. A while later the calf walked by the window next to my computer desk, five feet from me. I chatted with them as they browsed through the yard and up the driveway to the neighbors.
It's always fun to see the big deer in the yard. Which reminds me, I need to submit my cow moose hunting application....I could potentially draw this year.

I'd love to see a wolf in the wild!
