I don't often see these guys but they are around. They are heard more than seen. This Northern Flicker spent quite some time in my yard. They feed on ants, so often they are on the ground rather than in a tree.
The red crescent behind the neck makes this a colorful bird to see. Since this one was facing me, it took a while to see the red crescent. The Yellow Shafted subspecies has the red neck crescent.
