No, don’t have that app. After seeing a glimpse this morning, I am fairly certain it’s a ‘Northern Flicker’ woodpecker. They are all over the place, pecking the ground & trees.

At our other house, we had a problem with them pecking wood molding (cracks where bugs might be). I finally put a fake snake on the roof & that solved the problem. They would also ‘drum’ when we had the wood covered with aluminum.

If you are like me, you have the kind of Northern Flickers that have bright yellow feathers on the bottom side of their wings. It makes them easier to distinguish from the other woodpeckers, especially Hairy Woodpeckers or the Red-bellied ones (which only have a hint of red on the belly, so why did they name it that?). The Northern Flicker is one of my favorite birds, though I don’t have one tapping on my house! Plenty of trees in the woods around here.
