Flickers eat a variety of berries between fall and spring (Wiebe and Moore, 2008), some of which may contain seeds with secondary plant metabolites.
Therefore, if Flickers used fine-textured soils to ameliorate the effects of consuming dietary toxins, this alone may explain the reason for geophagy.
To determine how often Flickers consume soil, for what specific dietary purpose, and to what evolutionary end, requires further investigation.
Food and predation risk as factors related to foraging locations of Northern Flickers.
Ephemeral food resources and high conspecific densities as factors explaining lack of feeding territories in Northern Flickers (Colaptes auratus).
Lack of diet segregation during breeding by male and female Northern Flickers foraging on ants.
Although entertainment hardware has improved with digital technology, such as plasma screens and broadband networks, and reduced the

Cost is $45 for members of Clickers and
Flickers, $50 for nonmembers.
To make this viewing experience possible, C-Cube incorporated several critical features into AViA@tv including Flicker Filter technology, true 24-bit color depth, high performance CPU, and graphics accelerators.
In continuing its leadership in delivering powerful graphics on the set-top platform, C-Cube's AViA@tv is the only integrated digital set-top box silicon solution to provide a Flicker Filter feature that dramatically improves the picture quality of HTML content on the television.
