I looked out my studio window this afternoon and saw this beautiful Northern Flicker Woodpecker sitting on an arbor. They're one of my favorite birds with their gorgeous spots on their chests, the bright "rouge" on their cheeks, and the dapper "cravat" at their necks. When they fly, one can see that the underside of their wings are the same color as the "rouge" on their cheeks. They're always impeccably dressed; wish I could say the same for myself! ;-)
What a beauty -- I don't think we have them here in western NC. At least, I've not see one.
