Best I can tell, this is a Northern Flicker (woodpecker). More specifically, I think its the Yellow-shafted Flicker...you know, the male Yellow-shafted Flicker with the red splotch on the back of the neck and the way-cool mustache.
This is one of my "if only" photos. "If only" the focus were better on this Bluebird in flight....
Thanks Lady! I watch this bunch of Bluebird nearly every morning. Sometimes they’ll be understanding on my deliberate photography skills (aka “s-l-o-w”) and other days, not so much. Practice will make perfect…one of these mornings
