There have been a lot of nights that we will be out on the deck and we hear a woodpecker loud and clear, but we can't find it any where. The other day while I was opening the door to get some fresh air in the house I saw him.
I believe that he is a Northern Flicker.
He didn't stay around long, but I did get a couple pictures.
Now I know why we can't find him when we hear him. He must blend right into the trees.

The only woodpeckers we get are the Downy. Used to get a bigger one, but haven't seen him in a few years. They love the suet I hang out by the feeders. Great photos!
Love the shot just as he was taking off,... yes, that's a Flicker. Isn't he beautiful!
All three photos are great. The bottom two are my favorite. I like that you were able to capture the little bit of red in his head. I, too, LOVE the one as he is getting ready to fly!
Beautiful photos, as always. Have a wonderful weekend.
