[EBB Sightings] Yellow-shafted Flicker ssp. at Tilden

This morning at 9:30, I spotted a female Yellow-shafted subspecies of  
the Northern Flicker about 100 yds. south of Jewel Lake in Tilden in  
the largest willow tree west of the trail.  It was joined by two  
other Red-shafted ssp. on the opposite side of the tree. After about  
5 minutes, the Yellow-shafted Flicker ssp. flew south toward the  
Nature Center and out of sight.  A Sharp-shinned Hawk landed on the  
same willow one minute later. As I looped around the lake back to the  
parking lot, I spotted 4 Townsend Warblers (along with Yellow-rumped)  
along the Upper Pack Rat Trail in the coast live oaks.  Just as I was  
leaving the trail, I spotted a Fox Sparrow.
