A photo of a male northern flicker (Colaptes auratus) perched on top of the cut-off end of a vertically mounted log in bright sunny weather, facing to the right of frame with its head slightly cocked and tilted upward. It is a sleek taupe-colored woodpecker with a gray face and a long dark gray beak, red cheek patches, a red spot on the back of its head, a large black chevron across its chest, black barring across its back and wings, and black polka dots all over its belly. The background is blurred greenery.
Happy Flicker Friday from one of my beloved interludes.

A photo of a female northern flicker (Colaptes auratus), a sleek taupe-colored woodpecker with a gray head and a long dark gray beak, dark eyes, a large black chevron on its chest, and black polka dots all over its belly. It is perched on a wooden fence top in diffuse cloudy day lighting looking to the left with green bushes in the background behind it.
A photo of a male northern flicker (Colaptes auratus) perching awkwardly with one foot on a wooden platform mounted to a metal pole and one foot on a log style feeder also mounted to the metal pole. It is a sleek taupe-colored woodpecker with a gray face and a long beak, red cheek patches, a red spot on the back of its head, a large black chevron across its chest, black barring across its back and wings, black polka dots all over its belly, and red-orange tail feathers tipped in black.
This male interlude flicker always chases this female red-shafted flicker away from the log feeder, like just now. Then he sits on it like this. Like this!! And she just watches from the fence instead of moving to one of six other suet options in our yard.

A Chilean flicker hanging from a small tree trunk. It is medium sized bird with black and white wings, and a white belly with black barring. It has a beige face and a black crown, and has a long pointed black bill.

This beautiful green-barred woodpecker, ๐๐ฐ๐ญ๐ข๐ฑ๐ต๐ฆ๐ด ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ค๐ฉ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ด, is also known as a green-barred flicker, because it's a flicker. That's why it's so cute. #FlickerFriday

A photo of the fantastic northern flicker (Colaptes auratus), a sleek taupe-colored woodpecker with a gray head and tan face, dark eyes, a long dark gray beak, bright red cheek patches, a large black chevron across its chest, black barring across its back and wings, black polka dots all over its belly, a red spot on the back of its head, and red-orange tail feathers outlined and tipped in black underneath. It is a male perched on the top of a wooden trellis facing toward the left of frame with its beak open mid-call, and it has a little bit of reddish dirt on its beak from pecking in the ground where it likes to hunt for ants. The background is blurred greenery and pale cloudy sky.
It's Flicker Friday and he's my favorite and the cutest. And I used my one good bird flying over water photo two days ago, so. #BirdOfTheDay #cute #FlickerFriday.

A male red shafted Northern Flicker perched on a tiny branch near the top of a Hawthorne. A handful of haws and a smattering of leaves clinging to the mostly bare branches. Pale blue sky background.
A male red shafted Northern Flicker perched on a very small Hawthorne branch fits Alan's choice for BOTD & #FlickerFriday
The themes for #BirdOfTheDay are #birds&berries any capture that includes both. The alt is #backlitbeauty any bird capture with the sun light behind the bird. #birds

A female Northern Flicker peering out from behind a small diameter tree trunk. Her right eye is visible but her beak is hidden. About half of her black bib and speckled breast are showing. Her striped tail feathers are barely visible.

A photo of a male northern flicker (Colaptes auratus) perched on a roof top with pale blue sky behind it and an out-of-focus bird box partially visible in the foreground in front of it. It is a sleek taupe-colored woodpecker with a gray head and a long dark gray beak, dark eyes, bright red cheek patches, a large black chevron on its chest, black barring on its back and wings, and black polka dots all over its belly. It is facing to the left in warm-hued sunlight.
Happy Flicker Friday! He's on the neighbor's roof, behind our flicker house, taunting me.

Ok, where's Waldo? My old eyes did not see the female Flicker (of the high desert) hiding in the dead cholla, but my wife spotted her so I clicked the whole cactus first...
Put my glasses on, and then found the Flicker peeking at us with one eye while hiding with her polka-dots on the dead cholla. Sneaky.
DYK polka-dots are great camo? Ask me how I know.
Pic 1) Ok, so hiking the cholla patch, wifey stops me and whispers "Right THERE, don't ya see her?" pointing at a dead cholla. Me: Nope. But I click the cholla anyway.๐ต
Pic 2) Put my glasses on. THEN, I see her. ๐ค๐

A photo of a male northern flicker (Colaptes auratus), a sleek taupe-colored woodpecker with a gray head and a long dark gray beak, bright red cheek patches, a red spot on the back of its head, a large black chevron on its chest, black barring on its black and wings, and black polka dots all over its belly. It is standing on the ground on a grassy green lawn facing to the right with its head turned over its shoulder to the left and tilted upward looking toward the sky, with out of focus brown fallen leaves on the ground behind it in diffuse lighting on a cloudy day.
Happy #FlickerFriday!

A photo of a female red-shafted northern flicker (Colaptes auratus) perched on the side of a log-style feeder facing toward the left with her beak partially open and strands of saliva visible in it as she consumes suet, her eye half closed with a gray lid shut over it, and out of focus greenery in the background behind her. It is a taupe-colored woodpecker with a gray head and a long dark gray beak, dark eyes, red-orange feathers just visible at the edge of its wings, a large black chevron on its chest, black barring across its wings and back, and black polka dots all over its belly.
I like her. #FlickerFriday

A photo of a northern flicker (Colaptes auratus), a taupe-colored woodpecker with a gray head and a long dark gray beak, bright red cheek patches, a large black chevron on its chest, and black polka dots all over its belly. It is perched high in a tree on an overcast day, on a thick branch covered in vivid green moss. It is facing the camera with its head turned to the left and a gray eyelid slightly lowered over its black eye.
Here's my flicker looking cute yesterday. #FlickerFriday

The Western version of the female Northern Flicker doesn't have red on the back of the head. Just soft browns with a black chest band, and a polka-dot pattern on the chest and stomach. The underside of the wings and tail are a red/reddish color. She's right off my driveway, so I took this from the car.
Wet afternoon in the #PNW and I've a female Northern Flicker, foraging in the leaves for #FlickerFriday.
She's so subtle in coloration, unless flying away showing her red-shafted wing and tail feathers. A quiet beauty, that brings to mind our Mourning Doves.

A photo of a male northern flicker (Colaptes auratus) perched on a small plank of wood attached to a black metal bird feeder mount with a log-style feeder on it. It is a sleek taupe-colored woodpecker with a gray head and a long dark gray beak, dark eyes, bright red cheek patches, red-orange tail feathers, a large black chevron on its chest, black polka dots all over its belly, and a red spot on the back of its head. It has specks of dirt and suet on its beak and is stretching up toward the log with its thin pinkish tongue partially extended. Drops of rain are visible in the air around it. The background is out of focus greenery.
Surprise! It's the flicker. #BirdsOnFeeders #BirdOfTheDay #FlickerFriday

A photo of a glass northern flicker ornament on a silver Christmas tree lit with multi-colored lights. It looks like a golden-colored woodpecker with black spots, a black beak, and gold glitter.
A very special #FlickerFriday, if you're into that sort of thing.

I tried to take a video of the flicker foraging in our back yard, but my camera wanted to focus on the grass in front of him 90% of the time so it's very short. Happy #FlickerFriday!
