Hi, Heather...

I am also from the east and didn't see many of these till I moved out west. Did you get a chance to see the underside? There are two types of flickers- there is a red shafted and a yellow shafted. If your bird returns, try to see him in flight. If you see a splash of red when he flies, he is a red shafted flicker. If you see bright yellow, he is obviously, a yellow shafted flicker. I have not had any trouble with them pecking at my tress- I too, think that they are lovely, and welcome them into my garden. They seem to like whatever drops on the ground.
Happy birding...

Thank you for telling me what kind of bird it is. This is the first time I have seen one. It only came around for 3 days hopefully see more of it. I think it is a very cool looking bird and I am glad to have it in my yard.

Hopefully it won't drill any holes in your buildings!
