"Tight-rope" Walker
On a beautiful late summer day, this Yellow-shafted Flicker (Northern Flicker), and two of his family were working over this tree at Stony Creek Metropark, Michigan.
This medium-sized woodpecker likes to eat ants and beetles, and I've often seen them on the ground as well as in the trees, looking for insects to eat.
They give a distinctive "wacka-wacka" call.
