Participant Photo: Northern Flicker (Yellow-Shafted)

Lifer! I was photographing birds around my yard when I saw this beautiful Northern Flicker in my Aspen tree. After zooming in, I realized it was not one of my regular Red-shafted Northern Flicker, This beautiful migrant visitor made my day, posing for me and flying down to drink and feed. I hope she remembers to visit my yard every year!
