Two male Northern Flicker woodpeckers have a dance off in what I'm assuming is part of their courtship display. This is an old video that was buried in one of my earlier video compilations. Filmed in Arizona, USA with a Browning Recon Force Advantage trail camera.
From Audobon: This brown woodpecker flashes bright colors under the wings and tail when it flies. Its ringing calls and short bursts of drumming can be heard in spring almost throughout North America. Two very different-looking forms -- Yellow-shafted Flicker in the east and north, and Red-shafted Flicker in the west -- were once considered separate species. They interbreed wherever their ranges come in contact. On the western Great Plains, there is a broad zone where all the flickers are intergrades between Red-shafted and Yellow-shafted.
