Brief introduction from Germini:
Northern Flicker: T
he Ground-Foraging Woodpecker The Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus) is a medium-sized bird belonging to the woodpecker family (Picidae), but it stands out from its relatives due to its unusual appearance and behavior.
Key Characteristics Appearance: They are mostly brown with black bars on the back, a black crescent on the chest, and numerous black spots on the belly. Flash of Color: When they fly, they reveal a brilliant flash of color on the underside of their wings and tail: yellow in the East (Yellow-shafted Flicker) and red/salmon in the West (Red-shafted Flicker). White Rump: A distinctive, bright white patch on the rump is easily visible in flight.
? Unique Behavior and Diet Ground Feeder: Unlike most woodpeckers, the Northern Flicker spends a significant amount of time hopping on the ground to find food. Ant Eater: Their primary food source is ants and other terrestrial insects, which they extract from the soil using their specialized, long, barbed tongues.
Habitat and Range Flickers are common across most of North America, favoring open woodlands, forest edges, parks, and suburban areas where they have both trees for nesting and open ground for foraging. Northern populations are one of the few migratory woodpecker species. The large, spacious cavities they excavate for nests are often reused by other species, making the flicker a valuable "ecosystem engineer." d

中文名稱
正式中文名： 北美撲動鴷 “撲動鴷”是這個屬鳥類的統稱，形象地描述了它們飛行時翅膀撲動的姿態。 常用名： 北撲翅鴷 此外，根據其羽毛特征，它也被俗稱為金翼啄木鳥。
簡介
北美撲動鴷是一種中型啄木鳥，廣泛分布於北美洲。它非常獨特，是大多數人印象中最不像啄木鳥的啄木鳥。
主要特征：
地棲習性： 與大多數在樹幹上攀爬的啄木鳥不同，北美撲動鴷非常喜歡在地麵上覓食。你經常可以在草地、田野上看到它們用彎曲的喙啄食螞蟻（它們是它們最主要的食物）。
醒目的羽毛：
身體： 上身呈灰褐色，布滿黑色橫斑、條形斑點和心形斑點。
下身： 胸部有一塊明顯的黑色半月形斑塊。
尾部： 飛行時，尾羽的白色部分非常顯眼。
羽色差異： 根據亞種不同，它們的翅膀下和尾羽內側呈現出鮮豔的黃色（主要分布在西部和北部）或紅色（主要分布在東部和阿拉斯加），被稱為“黃軸型”和“紅軸型”。
標誌性白斑： 當它們站立時，臀部位置醒目的白色羽毛是快速識別它們的標誌。
聲音： 它們會發出響亮的、連續的“咯咯咯”的叫聲，也喜歡用喙猛烈地敲擊金屬煙囪、雨簷等，發出巨大的“噠噠噠”聲，以宣告領地和求偶。
