> Has anyone seen a Gilded Flicker here in NW WA? This morning we saw a small flicker that met the specifics of a GIFL. That is Larger black chest patch-oval shaped,paler back with narrower black bars and base of tail lite yellow. The smaller size and black patch caught our attention. It went to the suet feeder like every one else this rainy, foggy AM. Sibley's map shows them around here when other guides do not. Trying to touch base with some of the older bird watchers around here. Thanks in advance.
