This Northern Flicker is one of my favorite birds, mostly because of its unusual coloring. How often do you see a bird that's apparently wearing a bib?

I was fascinated when this bird appeared, since I'd never seen one with such a pronounced chest patch.  It turns out that it's a Northern Flicker, part of the woodpecker family.
