Grrr.
Have you tried putting up one of those fake owl decoys? I know someone who put one up to keep crows away and it worked for a while. Eventually the crows figured it out, but they are smart birds. Maybe it would work for Northern Flickers.

Edit: A quick internet search suggests that they may be effective for wood peckers, but the more realistic the decoy, the better.
