Thanks for sharing these photos, Sherry. What a pretty bird--I've never seen one before. We have lots of mud right now, too; the rains don't seem to be letting up any time soon.
I have always wanted to get a Flicker in our yard! That and a Pileated Woodpecker. My parents have a pileated living in their woods(can tell by the holes it creates in the dead trees), but i have never seen either of them! Love your photos! So beautifuL!
I think we may get flickers but I can't be sure. Do they hang onto the suet as well as eating ants? I've never seen him take a dirt bath, however. The ones I've seen have the polka dotted breast like your pictures.
Oh, I still have so much to learn about birding. Thanks for the great photos and info you share with us.
what a great looking bird...so glad he found you...to have a bath and dine.i have never seen one of these beauties. oh dh and i were counting species today...i think we counted 31. isn't it all so fascinating how many types of birds there are.
Dear Sherry....he is a handsome chap.....we have a green woodpecker here that comes into the garden for the ants. I have never been able to capture it, I don't know how you manage to get such lovely photographs........
Ooh, I obviously need a yellow shafted flicker - I have far too many ants! Another lovely bird we dont have over here - thank you for introducing me to it :-D

What a neat series of photos! Flickers are such dramatic looking birds.

Lol on the first picture, he looks like he was carved out of wood. And as always, excellent photos.

Great series of photos on one of my favorite birds. I can't recall the last time we had these in the garden. Likely just heard them in the woods.
