64 FLICKER (Colaptes auratus) Length, 13 inches. The yellow under surfaceof the wing, yellow tail shafts, and white rumpare characteristic. Range: Breeds in the eastern United Stateswest to the plains and in the forested parts ofCanada and Alaska; winters in most of theeastern United States. Habits and economic status: The flicker in-habits the open country rather than the forestand delights in park-like regions where treesare numerous and scattered. It nests in anylarge cavity in a tree and readily appropriatesan artificial box. It is possible, therefore, toinsure the presence of this useful bird aboutthe farm and to increase its numbers. It is themost terrestrial of our woodpeckers and pro-cures much of its food from the ground. Thelargest item of animal food is ants, of whichthe flicker eats more than any other commonbird. Ants were found in 524 of the 684 stom-achs examined and 98 stomachs contained noother food. One stomach contained over 5,000and two others held over 3,000 each.
