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.
