Lookin' for bugs in all the wrong places. 🎶 Northern Flicker rooting around in the snow today. I don't know if he was actually looking for bugs, but it sure was entertaining to watch. 🪶

A Northern Flicker with just his head and chest visible above the snow.  He's got a gray head with a black mustache pattern, black bib, and black polka dots on a light tan chest.

Gorgeous!! I didn’t see any flickers today. It was all robins, grackles, and red bellied woodpeckers!!

Here is takeoff. Wish it were a bit more clear, but always awesome to see that brilliant flash of yellow from the feather shafts and undersides of the feathers. Yellow-shafted Norther Flicker 🪶

A male Yellow-shafted Northern Flicker taking off. You can see brilliant yellow feather shafts on the wings and solid yellow on the underside of these feathers.
