Description
The northern flicker is the most widespread North American woodpecker and one of the most distinctive among woodpeckers. Northern flickers are easy to identify by their field marks and coloration, though the eastern flicker (yellow-shafted) and western flicker (red-shafted) have some distinct differences. Males have a tan and gray head with a thick (black for eastern flicker) malar stripe. The underparts are buff-white with black spots and a prominent wedge-shaped black patch on the breast. Females have similar markings to males but lack the malar stripes. Northern Flickers don’t act like typical woodpeckers. They mainly forage on the ground, sometimes among sparrows and blackbirds. Northern Flickers eat mainly insects, especially ants and beetles that they gather from the ground. They also eat fruits and seeds, especially in winter. These woodpeckers are also well known as the state bird of Alabama. These are vocal birds with a variety of calls. Taken in Massachusetts
