I was taking a photo of a nice saguaro cactus in bloom. My husband saw "a bird" and suggested to him that he would look good on the saguaro. Within seconds, there he was. There were 5 arms, all blooming, on this very old saguaro and the Flicker went to each one providing a fantastic opportunity to get what I would consider a relatively rare photographic experience: Gilded Flicker on a blooming saguaro, taking his time to savor the goodness.

Unlike other woodpeckers, the Northern Flicker is commonly seen on the ground. There, it uses its long, slightly curved bill to probe into the soil, anthills, and rotting wood for ants, grubs, and other invertebrates. Ants make up much of its diet during the nesting season.

I overstayed my welcome watching this flicker build its nest. It is giving me a piece of its mind.
Thanks for the visit!
The Northern Flicker gives a neat pose with the sun reflecting of its head, a beautiful bird with an array of unique feather co-ordination

Northern Flicker ~ (Colaptes auratus)
A Northern Flicker outside a nesting cavity in Central Florida.
Thanks for visiting!
This flicker was using an uninhabited owl box as a drum, I like the textures of the Cedar bark and rough sawn wood and having a flicker for FlickrFriday felt like I was checking all the boxes.
From my two days in January with this really cooperative Flicker. I assume it's the same--same area, two days in a row and not at all phased by my presence, whereas they usually get away as soon as possible. More to come of him/her.
Thanks for Viewing.
Red Shafted Flicker. Looking for something to eat on a hot dry day, in the infernal that is California in July.
----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

Many flickers that breed up north winter in Central Oklahoma. Began to see some new birds this past week. They eat a lot of ants and spend considerable time on the ground. Looking forward to shooting a few this winter. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
It was wonderful to get a chance to photograph both the Red-shafted (left) and the Yellow-shafted (right) Northern Flickers at Hidden Springs, Idaho
Smile on Saturday - Title Wanted
I thought this photo was funny because the upper Flicker looks like it's yelling at the lower Flicker...and the look on the lower Flicker's face is hysterical.
The northern flicker looks skywards after the chickadees have sounded their alarm call, the chickadees sound the alarm often as it causes the other little birds to flee to the bushes enabling them to get out and unto the feeders in peace, it is amazing to watch, they are so crafty
He has a black malar . Nice to see both male flickers one intergrade and one regular flicker in our backyard. St.Albert Alberta
Love shooting in silent mode on the camera it doesn't scare them off anymore.
...as a male apparition suddenly rises nearby.
The Northern flicker has a conspicuous white rump patch and salmon-colored wing undersides that are distinctly visible during its slow, bouncy flight.

Thank you for your views, faves and comments. Deeply appreciated.
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.
