Flicker Every Click

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.
Conservation status: Least Concern
Northern flickers are filtering back into the area after wintering down south. This windblown male has recently been probing in the partially-frozen ground for grubs.

Uncovered in the mid 1800's, during the creation of a sewage system for the city, Smithy Row was originally the location of the medieaval city's blacksmiths forges.

I was having lunch and a visitor showed up... Needless to say I ran for the camera...This is only the 3rd time I have seen them and one of the times I couldn't get the camera from the office quick enough...:-(
This is the first Flicker that I've seen this year... I had hoped to see more but no luck so far....This is a type of Woodpecker.....

Hello All!
I was heading down a small hill (we only have small, if any hills in Winnipeg) and spotted a Northern Flicker foraging for food at the bottom of the hill. Just then some walkers came by and startled the bird. I like seeing its yellow feathers which differentiates this from the Red-shafted variant which is found in the western parts of North America.
Thank you for stopping by and for your comments. I do love hearing from you! Have a marvelous day!
