The Northern Flickers in my area seem to disappear as winter sets in (I assume they head south) and return as spring approaches. The temperatures here in eastern Nebraska are moderating. It even got up near 60 degrees (F) on Monday. This is the first Northern Flicker I have observed in 2017.

Flickers are such bold birds - in behavior, and in their color patterns. I like the black mustache on this one that shows he is a male bird.
