Description: | The Northern Flicker is a medium sized woodpecker found throughout North America. Unusually, the Northern Flicker is unable to hammer holes in solid wood. Instead these birds pry apart soft, rotting wood in search of insects. This specimen belongs to the eastern race of the species, which is also known as the Yellow Shafted Flicker. It ranges from Northern Canada as far south as Central America, and from the East Coast of the USA to the Rocky Mountains. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | animals natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
