The flicker also has the white rump patch. You can see that plain as day when they away from you. It's a good spot to aim for in a survival situation. Just sayin'.

The young ones are much tastier especially if you can get them before they learn to fly. Just sayin'

They taste like red winged blackbird and not as wormy as cardinal.

Here's a genuine yellow shafted flicker that has taken up permanent residency on my deck. He found a real nice perch on my spare wood stove. The feathers are from a real flicker that met his unfortunate demise on the peak of my shed at the hands of either an owl or more likely one of the neighborhood kestrels. I found these feathers all over the ground around the front of the shed. I know several artist ladies who make things out of feathers I save and give them and that's how this came to be. A friends wife made the whirly gig, and included the feathers, and gave them a perfect home and gifted it to me. BTW, the feather shafts really are yellow.

Try pan seared chickadees in a marsala sauce to really impress your guests at your next holiday dinner. True free range.

I'm sure you all know how Audubon was able to paint such realistic plates for his studies.
