Dereila Nature Inn Home > Bird's Nest Lounge > Bird of the Month   October 2007 - Northern Flicker   Colaptes auratus The Northern Flicker is a stunning large woodpecker, which actually spends quite a lot of its time on the ground foraging for ants and other insects. There are two forms of Northern Flickers: The yellow-shafted and the one featured here, the Red-Shafted. The male (above) has the clearly visible red "moustache" which is lacking on the female (below).   If you have an idea for a bird of the month, we'd love to hear from you!   September 2007 << | >> November 2007   Bird of the Month archives         top Dereila Nature Inn Home > Bird's Nest Lounge > Bird of the Month
