Flickers are related to woodpeckers. They use their beaks to locate insects that live in, on, or under the bark of trees. They also get some nutrition from some sap that may occasionally accompany the insect as they are eating it.

What is the name of a brown bird with a white belly and black on the tip of its feathers with a ring around its neck?
The Northern Flicker is found almost everywhere in North America. The Eastern and Midwest United States have the Yellow-Shafted Flicker and the West has the Red-Shafted Flicker. The Gilded Flicker of the southwest is very similar to the Red-Shafted Flicker. The northern populations of the Northern Flicker are migratory, with fall migration taking place September to November. Flickers measure 13" with a wingspan of 18"-21" and they are seen in most suburban environments and forest edges. Unlike most other woodpeckers, Northern Flickers are mainly ground feeders, eating ants, termites, caterpillars, crickets, grasshoppers, other insects, spiders, berries, seeds, and nuts. They do come to feeders for seeds and suet. The yellow shafts of the feathers and its habit of flicking its bill give the Yellow-shafted Flicker its name. Both males and female yellow-shafted have a gray crown with a prominent red chevron on the back of the head and a speckled breast. Only the male Flicker has a black mustache. Unfortunately the Flicker populations appear to be declining. Some contributing factors might be due to the loss of nesting sites in dead trees and competition with other cavity nesting birds.
