There was a continuing thread a couple of months ago about hybridized
flickers. Yesterday I saw a thoroughly hybridized individual at the Skagit
headquarters, adjacent the boat launch parking lot (Skagit County, NW
Washington, for the non-Washingtonian folks).

This flicker had a yellow undertail, red wings, moustache of alternating
black & red bands, a red nape mark which was faint in the middle but fairly
well-defined at each end, and a face which was partly gray and partly brown.

Do they come any more 'scrambled' than this?
