Feathers From Heaven
Feathers From Heaven – In many spiritual traditions, feathers are also associated with the concept of spiritual ascension and the idea of rising above one’s earthly troubles. For example, in some traditions, feathers are thought to represent the connection between the physical world and the spiritual world and are seen as symbols of spiritual growth and enlightenment.
I do pick up feathers when I find them. On this particular day, I actually saw this fall out of the Northern Flicker bird as it flew overhead. Last week I posted a photo of the Flicker flying and showed what pretty yellow feathers it has. Than it flew over me and one landed right in front of me. So I had to pick it up.
Quite extraordinary it is. Such a beautiful yellow.
This is the tree the bird flew to, you can barely see him at the top of the pine tree.
The red on the back of the head is a good way to identify it. I have a pair that nest here in my yard. They also love taking dirt baths in my garden. So fun to watch.

Flickers are interesting birds – they are quite handsome in their brown/yellow/red colorings, but their call is too close to clowns and it gives me the creeps ha.
You should like that for the Halloween back up sounds. They are so pretty and live taking dirt baths.
That’s a pretty father – I like their plumage. It is unique looking and how nice you can sit and watch them. A dust bath sounds interesting. 🙂 I hear Flickers at the Park and other parks as well. I never saw one though and last time at Lake Erie Metropark, I saw one close-up feeding its offspring who was almost the same size as its parent.
