The Alabama Yellow Hammer is one of the neatest birds found in the state. This one is considered one of our most precious animals. It's considered a common flicker. This bird has grey, tan and broken bars throughout it's body. The hammer is somehow kin to the most common woodpecker. It eats termites and bugs from the highest trees. The birds a little larger than your average songbird.
In the springtime this little bird lays 6-8 colored eggs. They build their nests in a half rotten tree that should be used for soap ash. The little bird has so many things that are unusual about them. The earthy lookin little spots and stripes are so beautiful that this is a birdwatcher's eye candy. If you see one, take pictures and share it with the world. I haven't seen much of these around which means it probably needs more support. Head on over to Alabama Forestry Commission for more information to see how to preserve them
