Northern flicker creating a nest
The first photo was taken last June. This flicker let me get quite close - a bird with a mission. I was however shooting into the light as the tree was quite close to a fence that I could not walk around.

This flicker was quite far away. I photographed it from a second story building.

I loved the first one, but then saw the one in flight - awesome! Great series of shots!
A great series of the northern Flicker a bird I had never seen before today, thanks.
What a great set of pictures - I really like woodpeckers of all types, but we don't have any in Australia. That little crescent of black and the black bib are great features.

Awesome!
I love the last image, the flicker looks just like an arrow has been fired from a bow
Wow! Great shots! A northern flicker visited our yard one year, and was the catalyst for my birding hobby.
a wonderful series!! i have seen this bird only once in my yard and he stayed on the ground "flicking" at the grass and ground!!
super cute flight shot!!
Very nice series. I have always had some nesting on our property and this year, every time they tried to nest, a Squirrel went in and ate the eggs...bummers~
Nice series! Like the pictures where it fly away!
