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.

Thank you for viewing, faving or commenting on my images, have a great day!
Notice! My faithful 200-500mm lens of 11 years has finally bit the dust for consistency, so my wildlife posts will be severely hampered
Northern Flicker found at Griffin Family Nature Preserve. Infrequent sighting for me. Showing off the yellow on his tail feathers.

This female Northern Flicker was foraging on the ground for ants, rather like the ones crawling all over my feet and legs as I took this shot!
Taken in Florida.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
I found this guy and a number of his friends or family members at the Gellatly Nut Farm in West Kelowna.
