Description
This Male Yellow-shafted Northern Flicker isn’t a very common bird where I live. Although they are closely related to woodpeckers, and are in fact, a part of the woodpecker family, they spend most of their time on the ground feeding off beetles and ants. They are one of a few woodpeckers that migrate.

Cool beans! I did not know that! Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the nice comment! I am changing my nickname to “Owls 3.0”
Whats your eBird name??
Thanks for the information! Glad you got to see it! Like you said, they aren’t common in your area. Most interesting birds!
My eBird username is owls2.0. But it’s on private mode so I can’t share a link to let you see my records.
We have tons of these in our yard. I still haven’t gotten any at my feeder, though. 😞
