Short story alert:

There once was a young duck named Luck. He was a lucky little ducky. You see one day he got lost. He wondered too far from the water’s edge. He was lost in some very thick and tall grass. He was too little to see over the vegetation. Instead of going back towards the water Luck the duck kept going further into the thick and tall grass. Luck spotted a very long necked goose. Luck the duck waddled over to the goose and asked if the goose could help him get back to the water? The goose said, “Hi, my name is Lucey.” My friends call me Lucey the goosey. Lucey said, “What is your name?” Luck said, “My name is Luck.” Luck said, “Hi, Lucey, can you help me get back to the water?” and Lucey said, “Sure I will help you.” Lucey said, “The water appears to be that way, just turn yourself around, keep going straight and you will soon find the water’s edge.” Luck did just as Lucey said, and found his way back to the water. THE END!

Facts about the Northern flicker:

1. There are two types of Northern flickers. The Red shafted flicker and the Yellow shafted flicker. The Yellow shafted flicker is mostly native to the east part of North America. The Red shafted flicker is native to most parts of North America. Most Northern flickers migrate to the south parts of North America for the winter.

7. Both the male and female Northern flickers work together to care for their baby birds. They take turns keeping the eggs warm. They both feed the baby birds.

Short story alert:

Once upon a time there were three Northern flickers perching on a tree. The baby flicker was going to practice learning how to fly. Yes, today was the big day! The parent flicker kept nudging the baby flicker further and further down the tree branch. The baby flicker reached the end of the branch and the parent flicker nudged once more. The baby flicker dropped to the ground and quietly stood there looking all around. The baby flicker would run back and forth with its wings spread. It would take off running and try to flap its wings and lift up off the ground. The parent birds stayed near by watching the whole time as their baby learned to fly! It took awhile but the hard working baby Northern flicker learned how to fly!! THE END.
