The Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus) is a medium-sized member of the woodpecker family, native to most of North America, parts of Central America, Cuba, and the Cayman Islands. It is one of the few woodpeckers that are migratory. The flicker was first described and illustrated by the English naturalist Mark Catesby around 1729. Adult flickers are brown with black bars on the back and wings. The upper breast has a black patch while the lower breast and underbelly is beige with black spots. Their white rump is conspicuous in flight. The male flicker has a red stripe close to the beak. Flickers primarily eat insects but their diet also includes berries, nuts and seeds. They are the only woodpecker that feeds on the ground. The flicker’s breeding habitat are forested areas of the north and central Americas. They prefer to nest in tree cavities. This male Northern Flicker was perched in a tree at Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.
