This was such a pretty photograph of the Northern Flicker in our backyard. You can see all of his colors: his spotted chest with the black semicircle, the black patch near his beak, the red spot on the back of his head and a very distinct yellow under his tail which is very prevalent when he flies.
Such a gorgeous bird… Have you ever seen a Northern Flicker? I bet you have heard one!
A lot more handsome than our Common Flickers here in Colorado!
Hope this one stayed on your feeder and didn’t drill any holes…they drill to find a mate! Like calling!!
Wow
