Take a look at pix and description of Northern Flicker

Northern Flicker Overview, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology

Northern Flickers are large, brown woodpeckers with a gentle expression and handsome black-scalloped plumage. On walks, don’t be surprised if you scare one up from the ground. It’s not where you’d expect to find a woodpecker, but flickers eat mainly ants and beetles, digging for them with their...

I was thinking flicker of some kind. It's not a big bird. S/he has a yellowish head. The underside is creamy off white. The upper body has larger black stripes with smaller white stripes horizontally. The tail is larger black and white stripes. I know the darling loves my tree.? For now s/he's a daily visitor.

Hello everyone, thought after the election things would calm down. Well 10 more weeks before sanity.
I am going to get in trouble!( sorry moderators) but this is funny. No matter who you are. That's what we like here on the CDR. Funny!!!!!!!

Yes we do. And I watched it. ? But sometimes my phone sticks my last utube song on my phone's lockscreen after I watch it on TFO. I usually restart my phone and get back my little Arrow pic. Whether I like it or not it's my phone not utubes.?

Bless her ... that sucks.. I will say some extra prayers for her and the family..

Jess is starting to turn around. We have been here 8 days and after 3 surgeries, we may get to go home tomorrow. She will be back on the operating table next week but we hope that’s just routine closure and a short stay.

Cinder made her a friend on the concrete river walk.. Max is a 3 year old husky who was rescued a couple days ago and moved into the apartments just down the street. We see him and his owner frequently on walks and now Cinder will just plop her fat A$$ down on the walkway and watch for him. She expects to see him!! Lol.. Gorgeous red/ chocolate husky with bright blue eyes.. His owner Judy was pretty nice too

Well at least you all can have some lovely company on your journey. I had to go shopping today and a lady and I got talking. It was in passing but still nice. People not from Ohio feel strange because strangers wave at them here. I would feel strange if they don't.?

Well... another on my list of prayers.? Thank God my son hasn't needed one yet but he's on the list just in case. So she'll be in my thoughts.

In Oregon it rains for 7 months a year, including snow and ice. We have been diagnosed with a disease called S.A.D. Seasonal affected disorder. So there's a whole group of us Oregonians who use UVB bulbs for 4 or 5 hours a week, just sitting under the bulb, and it does make us feel better. Well, maybe not US, but a buncha Oregonians say it works.

We are enjoying wonderful temps these last few days. Just too nice to work on the deck, so I rounded up a few friends and headed to the water. Autumnal colors are peaking now - 70’s and blue skies, fair winds.

It is a glorious autumn day here in Kent. We went for a walk at a local country park which has former gravel pits as lakes and the River Medway alongside. The bird is a Jay, the most colourful member of the corvid (crow) family.
