Colaptes auratus cafer

It's the second day of the "Great Backyard Bird Count," and although we had many of our usual visitors today, the best photo opportunity was provided by one of the regulars -- a Red-Shafted Northern Flicker crawling up the pear tree.

Other birds visiting today were Collared Doves, White-Winged Doves, Mr. and Mrs. Flicker, Bushtits, a Townsend's Solitaire (who did not hang around long enough to get his picture taken), some Robins, Juncos, Cassin's Finches, House Finches, Pine Siskins, American Goldfinches, and House Sparrows.
