I looked out the window & there was a Northern Flicker sheltering from the rain on our balcony!

The Northern Flicker. This colourful member of the woodpecker family recently visited my pond. They are tree nesters and feed on the ground. Their favorite meal is ants.

His weird little tongue. 📷🌿🪶
The new bird friend that visited yesterday, and the resident Stellar's Jay.
From my research last night I feel very confident in saying this is a male red-shafted Northern Flicker.
SO excited to have a new bird friend.

Also saw this family of northern flickers in our alley. I don't know why, especially since I'm not superstitious, but I always associate flickers with good luck.

This northern flicker at our neighborhood park was digging in the dirt. He still has some mud stuck on his beak.

First Visitors
The first avian visitors to my birdbath have been a Northern Flicker and a couple of American Robins, although they seemed to be more interested in the adjacent plants than the fountain. One robin actually perched on the rim of the birdbath in order to drink from the drip tray of the nearest plant pot. I suspect they were attracted by the fountain but the hot weather made the still water an easier source of refreshment.
