Flicker

[Shortsighted]

I had to go for a walk this morning despite the humidity and the likely mosquito menace. Heard a House wren and then saw it but got bitten in the thumb by a mosquito while trying take a photo of it. No success. Heard flicker calling and then saw two of them but this time I managed a few frames before being assaulted. No flycatchers were seen. Noted the first toadflax, jewelweed and wild raspberries, but not much of any of them.

I don't know what plant this is, but I like its delicate profile.

Do you pick the berries? I do. I love service berries.

In your case ... self service berries.
