A common ant-eating woodpecker of open areas, the Northern Flicker has two color forms found in different regions. The yellow-shafted form is common across the eastern and northern parts of North America, while the red-shafted form is the one found in the West.
It is the yellow-shafted (ie, it has a bright yellow coloring under its tail) seen in this photo and on the farm.
