A photo of a male northern flicker (Colaptes auratus) at sunset. It is a taupe-colored woodpecker with a gray head and long beak, red cheek patches, black barring across its back and wings, and black polka dots all over its belly. It's perched on a brown cylindrical metal post facing to the left of frame with its feathers moving slightly in the wind.

It's #FlickerFriday and the #BirdOfTheDay theme, birds on #posts, in one. That is a really funny hashtag to use and also I looked up what qualifies as a #post for this because I was nervous that it was just a pole. #poasts

9 wooden posts evenly spaced in a line on a beach at Galveston Island, TX, each with a seagull sitting on top all facing the same direction.

You would not believe how long it took to get them all on their marks and facing the same direction.

I see your Tree Swallow and raise you a Welcome Swallow - the posts were used initially as markers for landscaping and left because the swallows like sitting on them. #Birds #BirdsOnPosts
