Colaptes auratus cafer

Flickers are fairly common in this area, even to the point that they annoy some homeowners who don't like the birds pecking away at their houses. Although I have seen as many as three or four at one time, most often it's just this one bird and (what I assume to be) his mate. They spend a lot of time in the pinon tree next doors, and venture out several times a day to whack away at suet or the block of seed. Less often, they'll take a drink from the pond.
