Red Shafted Northern Flicker

The Northern Flicker is distinctive in its species. This is a western flicker, the eastern flicker has yellow where the northern has red. Where east meets west along the Great Plains, the two will hybridize. They both have a noticable black crescent shaped bib. The red shafted flicker resides year round, whereas the yellow shafted are present only from fall to spring. Taken in my backyard, Mission, B.C.

Artist Reply: Thanks Emily, they are so big and boisterous, that they are hard to ignore, much like a bluejay behaves.
