The Gilded Flicker (Colaptes chrysoides) is a large-sized woodpecker (mean length of 29 cm (11 in)) of the Sonoran, Yuma, and eastern Desert regions of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico including all of the Baja Peninsula except the extreme northwestern region. Golden yellow under wings distinguish the gilded flicker from the northern flicker found within the same region, which have red under wings. Wikipedia
This beautiful Gilded Flicker was flying around Golden Valley Arizona.
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
Northern Flicker taking flight. Seen at Veterans Oasis Park in Chandler Arizona. I love the salmon-colored underwings.
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.
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.
When the babies scrabble up their tree cavity and meet their parents at the entrance to be fed, you can know that leaving the nest can't be far behind....
And sure enough, a couple of days later, all activity (the calling, the constant chittering from inside the tree, and the parents busily going out (with poop) and coming back with food) suddenly was silenced. They all fledged without me even noticing...
Female northern flicker, close to the trail at Burnaby Lake. I'm glad that I got some sharp shots with manual focus.

Northern Flicker-male
I find using the bird blind to be very advantageous!
You can get out of the weather...snow comes to mind, and your hidden so your subjects are more likely to hang around so you can take photos of them!
