@IrascibleOldMan That's a Northern Flicker. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Flicker/overview
@jeffreyw Thanks. We have northern flickers here (north central Colorado). I guess I've never seen them in that light. They and the jays are very attracted to the suet blocks I put out.
For all I spend on birdseed, I should be raising chickens.
@jeffreyw Beautiful photo. I'm new to the birding world. What kind of bird is this?
