Kids and Birding

Everytime I suggest to my kids, "Today would be a great day to go out birding!  Wanna come?", all I hear in return are grumbles about how boring it is and how slow I walk when I am trying to see birds.  They lead me to believe they don't enjoy spotting new birds.  Hah!  Well, when going through the pictures saved on my camera card, I found these pictures, taken by one of my children (not sure who) of this previously unknown bird to our yard :)  Notice how many he or she took!  I still haven't seen one myself, so I cannot include it in my life bird list, but am happy my kids are taking note!

I believe this is a Northern Flicker.  Does anyone know if it is a red or yellow shafted?  I only see the red on the nape...no black "mustache" on its "cheek"...
