The picture of this Northern Flicker Yellow-shafted was taken at the New York Botanical Gardens. The picture of this Northern Flicker was taken with the CANON EOS 7D and the CANON 100-400 lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.

I glimpsed this beautiful Northern Flicker while walking in the forest in the New York Botanical Gardens basking in the sun on an exposed limb. He kindly remained there while I was able to get this shot.
