Good morning

A gray bird with black stripes and a red "V" on its neck, and a long beak, stands in grass and clover.

Happy Flicker Friday from nature's best woodpecker (Colaptes auratus). 📷🌿🪶

A photo of a female northern flicker (Colaptes auratus), a large, sleek, taupe-colored woodpecker with a gray head and a long black beak, black barring across its back and wings, black polka dots all over its belly, and a small red patch on the back of its head. It is sitting on a paved area next to dirt and grass facing to the right of frame with greenery in the background behind it. It is an intermediate or hybrid, meaning a cross between the red-shafted and yellow-shafted color groups.

Majestueux et éclatant, le pic flamboyant illumine la forêt de son plumage ardent et sa vivacité insaisissable.

Slightly occluded by yellow fall foliage, a dapper woodpecker looks back from the trunk of a tree.

Northern Flicker

Today I had a surprise visit from a Northern Flicker. I have never seen one on my patio before, so this was a real treat.

Northern Flicker

Feels like every time I go to the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary I get a great Northern Flicker shot!

A Flicker in Time

This an aged picture of a northern flicker (Colaptes auratus) who was around during the winter a few years ago.

"Northern Flickers are large, brown woodpeckers with a gentle expression and handsome black-scalloped plumage. On walks, don’t be surprised if you scare one up from the ground. It’s not where you’d expect to find a woodpecker, but flickers eat mainly ants and beetles, digging for them with their unusual, slightly curved bill. When they fly you’ll see a flash of color in the wings – yellow if you’re in the East, red if you’re in the West – and a bright white flash on the rump." - allaboutbirds.org
