Nesting just about over

Nesting for most birds in Glacier is just about over. Here, a fledgling northern flicker takes a look at the world before it. Photo was captured using a remote camera. This bird will leave the nest shortly. I took this shot while working on the tailgate of my truck. The tailgate latch had broke (come undone) so I took it apart and fixed while waiting for the birds to do something. Just got a glimpse of something poking its head out of the nest (I was about 100 feet away) and cranked the shutter. Sometimes things work out.
