Northern Flicker

Also known as the Northern Flicker, this bird is one of our native woodpeckers. We often hear them hammering on the flashing and gutters of our roof, but this is the first good picture I've gotten of one of them. The photo was taken in Stanley Park, Vancouver. The bird's scientific name is Colaptes auratus cafer.

I've seen Northern Flickers on the east coast, but the plumage is slightly different. This is a wonderful shot.

What a KNOCKOUT SHOT!!! Gorgeous color, detail and position. I also love your background and perfect composition within the blue! How nice you got a natural setting, you lucky stinker! :D *high five*
