Common Flicker

Common Flicker

I had one other shot of the Common Flicker in the top of a tree.  I was pleased to get this close.  I think that the cold weather might have been a factor.  It looks like the bird is puffing out its feathers to stay warm.  It is a large woodpecker.  The Audubon Field Guide says that they feed on the ground, eating ants and beetle larvae.  It says that they hammer on dead limbs and even tin roofs as a part of mating.
