: YOU CAN GO a long time without seeing a Northern Flicker in our area. But Weybridge resident and author Susan Humphrey recently spotted this fine example pecking away on her lawn. Flickers mostly eat insects, especially ants and beetles that they gather from the ground. They tend to hammer away at the soil to find insects, in the same way woodpeckers drill into wood.
