The Northern Flicker is a dazzling, common woodpecker that can be found in most of North America. They’ll drum on trees similarly to other woodpeckers, but spend most of their time foraging for insects and larvae on the ground.

The Northern Flicker is a colorful woodpecker, covering most of North America. This is a common bird, yet if it were found in an aviary, it would probably take your breath away. The Northern Flicker stands alone with its engaging plumage and curious personality.
