The Northern Flicker is one of the most colorful birds I’ve seen in this area.  I’ve kept a look out for this one for some time and of course I spotted one in a parking lot.  When I got out of the car it was just 8 to 10 feet from me.  Of course I did not have my camera with me….when will I learn.  With patience I did get my reference shots and here are the results completed.  Enjoy.
