Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus)

I was quite startled yesterday when I looked out my window and saw this Northern Flicker mooching out of a sunflower seed feeder. Although you can find numerous photos of these birds on feeders, I have never had it happen here before. The big fellow could barely fit himself into it.
