Description
The Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus) is a woodpecker, found in North and Central America. Ten subspecies are recognized and here in Minnesota we see this one, the "northern yellow-shafted". The black cheek markings identify a male. It's December and he probably should have moved south by now, but some stay through the winter.
