Northern Flicker, male intergrade

back yard, Stanford campus

This is an intergrade, with the head markings of the Yellow-shafted and the red undertail (see http://www.pbase.com/image/74360685 ) of the Red-shafted.

We keep that "Carpe Diem" stone by our fountain to give the birds a chance to make a philosophical statement. Shot this through a plate glass window, hence the slightly murky look.

Canon EOS 30D ,Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM
1/250s f/5.6 at 700.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Love your pictures....Did the Flicker pick that stone or did you? Too much!
