Hi Tweets,

While doing a weekly bird survey at Seattle's Ballard Locks this morning
I saw two YELLOW-SHAFTED FLICKERS (a male and female) along with one male
RED-SHAFTED FLICKER. The male yellow-shafted had a red crescent on the
nape of his neck and a black moustache. The female had no moustache or
crescent but her wings had a yellowish underside when she flew. Does
anyone know how common this subspecies is in western Washington? This
threesome was seen twice just west of Pescatore restaurant on the north
side of the channel.
