Photo by Kort Duce A male northern flicker peers from its nest, its eyelid closed, in a weathered tree along St. Vrain Creek in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, the textured tree trunk dominates the frame, featuring a large cavity where the flicker nests. Near the lower center, the flicker's head emerges from the opening, its distinctive red cheek patch standing out vividly against its otherwise muted plumage. Its closed eyelid captures a quiet, seemingly restful moment. The overcast sky provides a soft, neutral background, while a thinner, decaying tree rises diagonally through the scene. An intimate portrait of a male northern flicker caught in a peaceful moment, highlighting the importance of weathered trees that provide essential nesting cavities and the riparian forest habitat vital to its survival.

A Northern Flicker hunkered in a shallow, stone-lined birdbath, her wet feathers ruffled and spread. Black spots cover her pale tan breast and wings, while glossy black feathers form a dark gorget across her upper chest. Her gray head is streaked with darker feathers, with a pink crescent at the base of her long, pointed beak. One dark eye gazes at the viewer as water drops rain around her. Blurred green foliage fills the background.

Northern Flicker in Arkansas today. I'm so excited this bird let me see it. I've been wanting to see it for about 5 years. I'm thankful I got to see it & take its photo. The photos aren't super clear but I don't care. I got to see a Northern Flicker!!! #BirdOfTheDay #birds #arkansas #northernflicker

A female northern flicker, head turned slightly to her left, perched on a branch with left leg ahead of the right against a backdrop of out-of-focus greenery. Her head is near the top left corner whereas the tail is near bottom right corner. The tree branch extends from the middle of the bottom edge to the top left corner. The back of the bird is beige with dark wing tips. The tail is black at the bottom and transitioning to white with black stripes. A mourning dove faces the right while perched on a tree branch that extends across the photo frame from left to right. The branch and the tail of the dove are partially hidden by out-of-focus greenery.

I was a bit far away to get a clear photo, but watched as this male #NorthernFlicker flew and landed on the other side of the Concord River (Concord, Mass. - 9/11/26) 😍🤎🪶

A male Northern Flicker with a tan face, black mustache, gray crown, and a red crescent on the back of the head, brown back with narrow black bars, black crescent/bib on the upper chest, and heavy black spots on a whitish/tan belly. This bird had been calling and flying along the Concord River, then landed on a brown snag of a tree on the opposite side of the river. There were green leaves and brown branches around the base of the snag, and a pale blue sky above. Seen at Great Meadows NWR in Concord, Massachusetts.
