Bird ID
« on: October 18, 2016, 10:05:00 AM »
Hey took a picture of this bird in my back yard this summer, I can't  see it anywhere in my Birds of Canada book. Can anyone identify it for me. Hope the picture shows ok, taken from I -phone.

Female northern flicker?

It says it's a ground bird.

Another site which seems to confirm that.

Thank you abv3, looked in my book again after reading your post and found it. I get a lot of birds here, but never seen these guys before.
