Northern Flicker (yellow-shafted) female
I was walking around the lake at the Chesapeake Bay Environment Center when this female Northern Flicker landed in a tree about 125 feet from me. She was content to sit there long enough for me to get some good shots of her. This photo doesn't show her yellow-shafted feathers as much but that's what differentiates her from the red-shafted flickers out west.
