Description
They call him Flicker, Flicker, (haha, I know that is the song for the horse, not the bird). As soon as I fill up the water, this gorgeous leopard looking Woodpecker, with his red mustache shows up. He was loving the clean cold water, like an ice cream cone on a hot day. He is such a beauty. He and his wife have a nest and kids and made a nest on top of the birdhouse.. Not "IN" the birdhouse, but on top. These Woodpeckers are quite the characters.. Here is some information about the little fellers.
Size & Shape Flickers are fairly large woodpeckers with a slim, rounded head, slightly downcurved bill, and long, flared tail that tapers to a point. Color Pattern Flickers appear brownish overall with a white rump patch that’s conspicuous in flight and often visible when perched. The undersides of the wing and tail feathers are bright yellow, for eastern birds, or red, in western birds. With a closer look you’ll see the brown plumage is richly patterned with black spots, bars, and crescents. Behavior Northern Flickers spend lots of time on the ground, and when in trees they’re often perched upright on horizontal branches instead of leaning against their tails on a trunk. They fly in an up-and-down path using heavy flaps interspersed with glides, like many woodpeckers. Habitat Look for flickers in open habitats near trees, including woodlands, edges, yards, and parks. In the West you can find them in mountain forests all the way up to treeline.
