Northern Flicker
Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦

How I love photographing birds and wildlife in snowfall! I think capturing falling snow in a photograph, adds an element of beauty. 🤍 Although I don’t think the striking Northern Flicker needs a lot of help in the beauty department, I am glad that there are a few who stick around in winter and give me the opportunity to take their portraits in the snow. ❄️
