The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to the bird's features, from the intricate patterns of its plumage to the distinctive coloration that differentiates the North-western Flicker from other woodpecker species. Ellis's work not only served as a scientific record but also as a means of introducing the European audience to the diverse wildlife of the Pacific Northwest.
