Andean Flicker

Andean Flicker is a distinctive woodpecker species of the Andes, with an unusual primary habitat of high grasslands. (It frequently occurs in areas without trees.) Feeding is on the ground, the main food being insects including beetles and larvae. The range of Andean Flicker is in the Andes (as expected) from southern Ecuador to northern Argentina. These two individuals were foraging close to Laguna Piuray near Cusco, Peru.
