Northern Flicker

The bigger woodpeckers like the suet feeders that have a place they can park their tails as a brace.

Great shot - and interesting information - may have to figure one out like that. Like that you were able to get so much of his details - even the hint of the yellow feathers.

@milaniet Thanks! I got it at Wild Birds Unlimited. Not cheap but it is a good product.

Wouldn't have noticed the "bracing" if you hadn't highlighted the fact!
