Red Shafted Flicker - Backyard

I captured this Red Shafted Flicker (or Northern Flicker) on my back fence in 2010. Flickers are a type of woodpecker. They are very pretty birds, but unfortunately I find myself shooting at this birds with my pellet gun as often with my camera (soft pellets at low velocity do not harm birds). This guy and many of his friends like to try and burrow their way into my attic. Many of them will even try to go through the steel siding on my house which is quiet loud and annoying. The birds in my neighborhood have little fear of people hence the need to shoe them away more forcibly.
