The old projector's flicker wheel cast a stuttering pattern of light across the backdrop, adding unexpected drama to the scene.

The yellow-shafted flicker tapped loudly at the old oak while foraging for ants in the autumn light.

The yellow-shafted flickers nested in the hollow of the old maple tree every spring.

The flickery candlelight made the old painting seem alive.

The flickertails darted between the prairie grasses as we watched from the ridge.

At dawn, a curious flickertail popped its head out of the prairie grass and inspected the campers with bright eyes.

The candlelight flickeringly revealed the portrait's faded colors.

A flickermouse darted from the eaves and disappeared into the moonlit night.

The candle flickereth in the draft, casting dancing shadows on the wall.

Every summer I drive across the Flickertail State to visit my grandmother.
