Nikon D500, Sigma 150-600mm Sports lens, f/6,3, 1/250, ISO 400, Nikon SB-5000. Yellow-shafted male woodpecker. View Large.
Northern Flicker Woodpeckers are one of my favorite birds likely because I have always had a hard time getting shots of them.
On this day I was testing out my Sigma 150-600mm lens that just came back from Sigma for some repair. I also asked them to calibrate the lens so that it was sharp through all of its range and F:Stops. Boy, what a difference, glad I had it done too.
Southern Alberta, Canada.

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.
A special thanks EDV for the texture.
I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to view, fave or comment on my photo. It is very much appreciated.

A family gathering of Flickers. First there was one followed singly by two others. They would animatedly "talk" to each other then turn stock still. This process would repeat it self many times during the following 10 minutes before I left. I've never seen anything quite like it.
Northern Flicker taking flight. Seen at Veterans Oasis Park in Chandler Arizona. I love the salmon-colored underwings.

I discovered that these woodpeckers eat more than just ants and insects. They seem to enjoy the berries on the Virginia Creeper.
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.

I spotted this Northern Flicker feeding on the ground further up the path. I slowly walk closer shooting as I went, trying to stay well off the opposite side of the path from where the woodpecker was. She was watching me and drilling for likely ants or such and I walked slowly stopping when she seemed nervous and kept as far from her as the path allowed. She needed this food and I was not in a rush, I allowed her to feed and moved past her and she kept at it. I got some good images and she got breakfast.
(male yellow-shafted type)
A bathtub blind shot from December 2021.
This Flicker shot was my favorite of a series in terms of the setting on my deck rail and the coating of snow on the rock. I did not post it because the focus on the head was not very good. I posted a sharper shot, but it was not as pleasing in terms of composition.
I have new tools since 2021, so I decided to rework the raw file. If you zoom in, you will see the focus on the head is not perfect, but it is much better than my original processed shot.
While set up to try to get a few photos of warblers this lady showed up. She has been coming several times a day lately. I guess the young are off to explore their surroundings and she is now free to serve her own priories.
Male Northern Flicker
I've been having fun observing our regular birds, and now a flicker pair, as they visit our backyard for a sip of water.
