Observation details
Yellow-shafted Northern Flicker appeared briefly in my backyard this morning, along with 4 Red-Shafted. I have had Yellow-Shafted Northern Flickers in my yard twice before. It was very difficult to get a photo because I could not tell which of the 5 flickers was the Yellow-Shafted until spread its wings and tail to fly off. This one had a red malar stripe.
