All,
I forgot to mention that during our class field trip to Coyote Hills
we also saw an apparent "yellow-shafted" intergrade northern Flicker
in the willow by the entrance kisok. The bird possessed brilliant
yellow vanes on the ventral side of tail and wings, a fairly well-
defined red nuchal patch, but also some faint red-flecking on the
malar. The exact color of face/crown was hard to judge, but shots
photos were taken.
