Northern Flicker

I have been trying for ages to get a shot of a Northern Flicker.  I have one who visits my suet feeder daily, but never stays long enough for me to get a shot. There were several of them at Seneca Creek State Park when I was there on Weds with Wendy when I struck out, but today I had a little more luck. This was taken from a great distance and has been cropped significantly.  They are such handsome and muscular looking birds.
