Yes, you got it! It is indeed a Northern (Yellow-shafted) Flicker. The black crescent on its breast is a giveaway -- no other bird around here has a marking like that.

A couple mornings ago, I sat down to eat breakfast, and out the window I spied what looked like a bird of prey! I ran and got my dad's camera, and shot one video (on accident) and a few pictures.
It is pretty big, mainly dark brown, with a black shield on it's breast, a dull red tuft on it's head, and a long beak like a woodpecker. When my dad watched the video, he said it looked like an owl. When he blew up the still pictures, and saw the long beak, we knew it wasn't an owl. We think it might be a Yellow-Shafted Northern Flicker. What do you think? The video and pictures are on the PhotoBucket Album: http://s98.photobucket.com/albums/l257/MacEntyre/Thing1%20Pics/?action=view¤t=P8020008.mp4 Thanks! ![]() -SkyWatcher |

These Antenni really started me wondering what do antenni do? And why are they so diverse? Thanks Brett

That is a cool moth! Looks like a male Southern Flannel Moth (Megalopyge opercularis). The adults are strange enough, but their bizarre caterpillars are even stranger and noted for their painful sting. See the link for more info.
