Fascinated by Northern flickers since I 1st learned they exist. The spot pattern on their chest (not seen here) looks JUST like the holes they make in trees! Remarkable coloring & that shock of red! Was lucky to catch this beauty drinking from the Iowa River in 2023.

Photograph of a northern flicker standing on a bark-less dead tree branch that is partially submerged in dark brown water. The flicker is facing away from the camera and has turned its head to the right in profile leaving one eye visible. The flicker has a water droplet running down its beak indicating it has just taken a drink. Flickers have brown back and tail feathers with black barring and scalloping, yellow undertail and underwing feathers, light brown abdomen and chest feathers with black spotting, a prominent black bib, tan neck and face feathers, gray head feathers with a vivid red crescent across the back of the head, a long black patch next to the beak, a slightly curved black beak, and gray legs and feet.
