I don’t see this bird very often but spotted this Woodpecker atop the telephone pole at the back of my yard.
The Northern Flicker is of the Woodpecker family. Adults are brown with black bars on the back and wings. A mid- to large-sized northern flicker measures 11–14 in in length and 17–21 in in wingspan.
This bird doesn’t come around a lot but woodpeckers are always welcome around my yard. I have not seen any visit my feeders but one did stop by for a quick drink of water.
