Thanks, Chris.  Yes, you can trust the Kodak CCD sensor of the Oly E-1 to give you true colors in good light.  However, Charlie just pointed out that this is not a Flicker after all, but a Red Bellied Woodpecker.  I got misled by an image that I found on the Internet yesterday.

They look great, Jim.  The colour of the Flicker is startling; is that true to 
life?

A  foggy morning led to a nice afternoon, so I took the E-1 for an outing with 
the Pentax Takumar 135/3.5 and an old Leica shoulder stock.  First, I found 
that the daffodils were getting a jump on the season.

Then, I sat down and watched the birds.  I saw this Flicker in the lower tree 
branches, and he made a few visits to the feeder, though the spring-loaded 
support bar caused him to demonstrate his trapeze act.

Then, just ten feet from my chair, one of the Song Sparrows that live in the 
large boxwood decided to explore the grass and a few wild flowers.
