[Tweeters] Gilded Flicker

[hikersammy at msn.com]

How exciting.. I am hopeful that at one point you or someone near you can check it out and see if it is an indeed a Gilded.  There are ways to tell if it's a Hybrid of the Northern or a Gilded.  And I ask that anyone that sees a 'different' looking bird in any species, to explore more.   E-bird does not have a Gilded listed anywhere near here.. but I will say that as long as people jump to the 'hybrid' conclusion, that none ever will be.  We must remember the Blue Jay that appeared here several times now, the Painted Bunting and lets not forget the Swallow-tailed Gull.   So, unless it's much different from what we are used to seeing, we jump to the Sub or hybrid conclusion.  Just a reminder..   Continue to be excited 😄  and get a photo if you can 😄   Birds are moving NorthWest!
