Message: [QUOTE="JBtheExplorer, post: 423230, member: 5437"] Those are indeed Northern Flickers. Awesome birds! One of the larger woodpeckers in the U.S. Occasionally I'll see them in my driveway, eating ants out of the cracks. Mostly, I see Red-bellied Woodpeckers and Downy Woodpeckers. The red-bellieds have been more prevalent in my area in recent years. I think that's due to many older and dying trees, providing them with more habitat. There's a park, maybe five miles south of me, that has Red-headed Woodpeckers nest there every year. They're absolutely stunning birds! It's the only place I've ever seen them. [/QUOTE]
