Welcome to 🦜 The Flyer 🦜 by Flying Colors
Every other Friday, we share original content written by the Flying Colors team, fascinating stories & tidbits from the world of birding, curated products, epic bird photos, and more.
The large, distinctive Northern Flicker has a black collar, speckled chest, stained red cheeks, and red or yellow wings when flying. They are a member of the woodpecker family, but you won’t always see them up in the trees. They hop around on the ground digging for insects like ants and worms with their curved bills, and will also catch insects in the air and eat fruits and berries.
Though they are often solitary or in pairs, they can gather in large groups during winter or while migrating. Their staccato calls can sometimes sound like laughter.
Fun fact: Northern Flickers have red interior wings in the west, and yellow in the east. Though they look different in the two regions, they are the same species and interbreed.
🧘 Slow down After a frantic year, it’s time for slow birding Animal behaviorist Joan E. Strassmann wrote a book about connecting with the birds you see at home, and the science behind how birding improves your life.
