Printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308gsm.

The Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus) is the woodpecker that broke the mould, a soft-toned, ground-loving bird of lawns, orchards and open country rather than the deep timber. It is one of the most handsomely marked of all the woodpeckers: warm brown and buff plumage scattered with round black spots across the breast, a bold black crescent bib at the throat, and a bright flash of colour hidden in the wings, lemon-yellow in the Yellow-shafted form of the east, rose-salmon in the Red-shafted form of the west. A white rump patch shows in flight.

Because it is the woodpecker people so often see on the ground in their own yard, the Flicker carries an easy familiarity that makes it a warm, welcoming print. The spotted breast and black bib give it a graphic, decorative quality that suits a traditional room, a den or a country home, and its soft palette settles quietly into a calm, neutral wall. It is the friendly, always-recognised gift for anyone who watches the birds in an open backyard.

Rendered in a contemporary Audubon-inspired natural-history style with a soft paper-grain finish.

Paper and finish

Unframed prints come on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308gsm, a heavyweight cotton rag with a soft matte surface and true archival life. The surface holds fine lines and subtle colour gradients without glare, which matters for Audubon-tradition work where the cream ground needs to read as paper, not as a white field. The framed option is set in a classic moulding, glazed and ready to hang, in black, white or natural.

Sizes

Three sizes: 8x10, 16x20 and 24x30 inches, or a high-resolution digital download at $9. Prints from $39. Framed from $99.
