[SBB] Yellow-Shafted Flicker in Saratoga

[Lisa Myers <[[email protected]]>]

Hello all -

I know birding in cemeteries might not be for
everyone, but it can be a very quiet & serene habitat
in which to find birds.  Several months ago while
driving through Saratoga's Madronia Cemetery, with the
goal to check our birds, I observed a Yellow Shafted
Northern Flicker within a large group of flickers.

Today I decided to see if this bird was still around. 
Sure enough, at 9:45 AM this morning I found a female,
YELLOW SHAFTED NORTHERN FLICKER resting quietly on a
tree within the cemetery.  There were several Red
Shafted around her.  The road that takes you into the
cemetery loops around and back out.  Its a very small
area of land and only takes a few minutes.

When birding Santa Clara County we seldom run across
the yellow shafted and it is always a nice surprise.

P.S. The other birds found this morning were nothing
out of the ordinary -
Lots of Robins
Dark Eyed Junco's
Nuttalls & Acorn Woodpeckers
Brown Creepers calling
American Crows
Lesser Goldfinch
Scrub Jay
