This bird came visiting my backyard last year and I was lucky enough to get a couple pictures. A very pretty bird with red colored wings in flight. Northern Flicker.
Occasionally they will announce themselves by drumming on the downspouts of the house. There might be some bugs in there that they are trying to get. (Hopefully nothing gets into the house frame work) I’m sure there are plenty of bugs in the yard - we have a natural section with many different blackberries growing and water for the birds. They will some times take seeds off the bird feeder too.
I hope you enjoy the photos.
