Northern Flicker
What did the math text book say to the Shakespeare text book?
I’ve already got a lot of problems, and I don’t need any of your drama.
Interesting Fact: Although it can climb up the trunks of trees and hammer on wood like other woodpeckers, the Northern Flicker prefers to find food on the ground. Ants are its main food, and the flicker digs in the dirt to find them. It uses its long barbed tongue to lap up the ants. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Flicker/ )

We do see them on the ground a lot! And yesterday we saw a Pileated Woodpecker digging in the ground, too, for many minutes
