New Yard Bird!

I was shocked & thrilled to look out my window and see a northern flicker at my water fountain. First time in my yard, normally a forest kind of bird. We had a rare heavy snow and extreme cold day which means tons of bird action in my yard. I keep my fountain going with a stock tank heater and it brings them in. The flicker ignored my suet and just went for the water. The robin seems puzzled as to who this large intruder is.
