Male Northern Flicker intergrade.
(Vancouver BC, December 20 2025)

#birds #birding #northernflicker #colaptesauratus 🪶
A Northern Flicker perched on a branch. Superficially resembles the Yellow-shafted subspecies, but has red mixed into the moustachial stripe (Red-shafted trait), instead of being all black. "Hybrids" between subspecies are called intergrades.

OTD in '22: a remarkable episode when a northern flicker landed (1) and then was preyed upon by a Cooper's hawk as a deer passed by (2) before the hawk flew off with flicker (3).

Le Pic flamboyant fonce vers vous, ailes grandes ouvertes 🔥🐦
Vu de face en plein vol, c’est un éclair de plumes aux reflets dorés et oranges - élégant et impressionnant à la fois.
