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.

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

"The northern flicker perches gracefully on a bare tree branch, its plumage a striking tapestry of colors and patterns. The bird’s warm brown body is speckled with black dots, giving it a distinctive, textured appearance. A vibrant red patch on the back of its head adds a flash of unexpected brilliance, standing in contrast against the muted tones of its feathers. The tail feathers carry a soft golden-yellow hue, visible beneath its body as it sits with keen alertness. Surrounding the flicker are stark, leafless branches, suggesting a time of transition—perhaps winter giving way to early spring. Against a pale, nearly white background, the flicker emerges as the undeniable focal point, its intricate details standing in sharp relief against the soft, muted surroundings. It gazes into the distance, poised with the quiet confidence of a creature perfectly attuned to its environment." - Copilot

Northern Flicker Standing Tall

This fine bird was making a raucous, which is a great way to find birds when they blend in with their background.

Take a listen to the Northern Flicker calls and see what you think.
