		The Northern Flicker, also known as the "Common Flicker" or "Yellow Shafted Flicker" used to be more common; for the last few years, they have declined heavily in numbers, albeit not enough to make it onto any endangered species list; still, you will see them far less often than the common Robin or Grackle.
		The Yellow Flicker is attracted mostly to coniferous or deciduous trees, nesting in places where there is a lot of open space and a lot of food.
		If you keep your backyard the same year after year, and the Yellow Flicker has nested there, you may be in luck; these woodpeckers have a tendency to return to the same nesting site year after year, so they can be found in the same area after migrating and mating seasons are over.
