I went for a short ski up Willow Creek (east of Corvallis) last weekend and I had the pleasure of watching a Three-toed woodpecker foraging away on a spruce...

I posted a photo a northern Flicker that has a red malar (red-shafted) and a red crescent on the nape (yellow shafted). I emailed Jeff about this and he said...
"Recent Photo" of Red- x Yellow-shafted Flicker seems to be misidentified. It appears to have all the necessary features to make it more or less "pure"...
Paul's bird is not a pure Red-shafted. various forms of intergrades abound in Montana. a pure male Yellow-shafted has a brownish face, black malar stripe,...
MOBsters, An immature dark-phase ("Harlan's") Red-tailed Hawk just sailed north past my front windows. Not a big deal for many of you, but its the first...
By the way, I totally agree with Jeff on the ID of Paul's bird. Here at Ft. Peck at least 40% to 50% of the flickers show signs of intergradation. Chuck...
