Speaking of Birds.

Saw this one on my nearby stump yesterday.

A Yellow Shafted Flicker, a kind of Woodpecker, and a female I think.

Now I see some red and some black and some gray and some buff brown, but Yellow?

If you look real close to her port side wing tip, there is a peep of yellow showing where the feathers are not quite smooth.

Here’s where the yellow hides

Not my picture, and almost impossible to get with the camera, these birds have the swooping flight, typical of Woodpeckers, that is hard to follow.
