This encounter was pretty special to me for a couple of reasons. One' is that I believe that this is a youngster, and secondly, it flew to one of my maple trees, where it is seen here.
It has been quite a while since I have seen them visiting the neighbourhood. I had seen them nearby recently, but was just returning home in my car and did not have my camera. On this day I was able to get some pictures of it before and after this when it was on a nearby utility pole. Although those shots were unobstructed, by far I liked this shot the best even though it was obstructed by parts of the tree.
An Intergrade Northern Flicker pausing form its sunflower seed snack. This Woodpecker is a cross between the Red-shafted Northern Flicker and a Yellow-shafted Norther Flicker. This beautiful Woodpecker has the red nape crescent, a characteristic of the male Yellow-shafted Flicker. Photo taken in our backyard in Camas, Washington.
Wikipedia: The northern flicker or common flicker (Colaptes auratus) is a medium-sized bird of the woodpecker family. It is native to most of North America, parts of Central America, Cuba, and the Cayman Islands, and is one of the few woodpecker species that migrate. Over 100 common names for the northern flicker are known, including yellowhammer (not to be confused with the Eurasian yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella)), clape, gaffer woodpecker, harry-wicket, heigh-ho, wake-up, walk-up, wick-up, yarrup, and gawker bird. Many of these names derive from attempts to imitate some of its calls. It is the state bird of Alabama.
Conservation status: Least Concern
The gilded flicker (Colaptes chrysoides) is a large-sized woodpecker (mean length of 29 cm (11 in)) of the Sonoran, Yuma, and eastern Colorado Desert regions of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico including all of the Baja Peninsula except the extreme northwestern region. Golden yellow underwings distinguish the gilded flicker from the northern flicker found within the same region, which have red underwings.
The gilded flicker most frequently builds its nest hole in a majestic saguaro cactus, excavating a nest hole nearer the top than the ground.The cactus defends itself against water loss into the cavity of the nesting hole by secreting sap that hardens into a waterproof structure that is known as a saguaro boot. Northern flickers, on the other hand, nest in riparian trees and very rarely inhabit saguaros. Gilded flickers occasionally hybridize with northern flickers in the narrow zones where their range and habitat overlap.

Taken through my kitchen window and at a great distance so the clarity isn't great...but there was something about it that I just really liked.
The campo flicker is a species of bird in subfamily Picinae of the woodpecker family Picidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Suriname, and Uruguay.
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.
