Northern flickers live in the west (I live in Southern California mountains) and have a red shaft of color on the tail and then there are flickers who live in the east who have a yellow shaft.
The flickers are some of the prettiest birds that come to the yard around here. I always put peanuts on the deck railing upstairs and keep peanut suet out also, especially in winter. Some years there seem to be more of them but lately, the last few years I haven't seen as many.

How beautiful!
I saw a pair a couple of weeks ago, and that was the first time in several years. Your flicker has more red than the ones here. You are seeing lots beautiful birds this season. I am enjoying them!
