What took you so long?
The last time a Flicker (Colaptes auratus) showed up in my backyard was 28 years ago, on September 8, 1991. Now I have a second sighting, with photos this time. Flickers normally like wide open spaces, not small suburban backyards. This large woodpecker, that likes to feed on the ground, eating ants, is 12" long and is quite attractive, with unique markings.
Please comment if you wish.
